Webekin Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 08/04/2020 9:01 pm I have gone through hundreds of boxes of halves looking for silver. Every now and then I find an error coin, or so I believe. This one is missing a layer of cladding, real easy to see when in person or if you can enlarge the photo. Ideas, thoughts, collectable? Webekin Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/04/2020 9:05 pm What does the reverse look like? If it is bulging outwards opposite that area it is damage to the obverse. If it is normal on the opposite area, maybe a struck through error. I feel it is not a missing clad as it would be red in color on that area. Check to see the weight also. On a damaged coin or a struck through coin the weight will be normal. If it were missing a cladding, then it would be lighter. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/04/2020 9:07 pm I'm thinking it's a struck through error, not a clad issue. An image of the reverse and maybe the weight of the coin? ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5837 Posts	Posted 08/04/2020 10:12 pm Most likely struck through error. A picture of the close up reverse will determined it. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/04/2020 10:50 pm Strike through error, not missing clad. And unfortunately it has a scratch from a coin rolling machine. Report this Post to the Staff
Webekin Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 08/05/2020 11:10 am Here is the reverse, nothing noticeable. My powder scale weighs in grains, so I will see about a weight. Webekin Edited by Webekin 08/05/2020 11:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2020 11:23 am Doesn't look pressed outwards. It is probably a struck through error. What? I have no clue. A greasy wad of fiberous debris, like cardboard. I love it when it is more obvious: CoopHome : Strange struck throughs Edited by coop 08/05/2020 11:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
