SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 12:12 am Haven't had much time to do any coin roll hunting for about a month because I've been crazy busy with research, but picked up $10 in rolls today and found this (along with a nice collection dump of proof pennies from 1999-2008 that totaled about 100). At first I assumed it was struck through gritty grease, but looking more closely, it seems like the texture is more uniform and the edges more abrupt. Possibly struck through a scrap of cloth or paper? Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 12:24 am Very interesting. Looks as if something is on the coin's surface, but I know you know the difference and I'm sure in hand it looks different. Cool find! Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 12:31 am Thanks Merc! Yeah, can definitely see the depression under a loupe. Sadly, I damaged the camera on my phone slightly, so it doesn't focus very well anymore :/ Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 02:37 am Hm interesting. Nice find Sam, perhaps struck through cloth maybe? However it doesn't have the ridged texture that normally comes with struck through clothes. You might be right about it being a struck through paper. Not sure, but nevertheless, great find.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 04:42 am I do not think it is struck through cloth. I think it is a struck through,but not sure what else it would be struck through. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 09:51 am Thanks guys! Definitely a curious one. Suspect it will have to simply go in the collection as an unspecified strike through, but cool nonetheless. P.S. Go vote, everyone! Edited by SamCoin 11/03/2020 09:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 1:39 pm It could be a ragged piece of paper. Note the die flow lines from the planchet that were there before the strike, still shows them unaltered. I would think it would be a keeper. First time I've seen this.
