At first glance I figure it's post mint damage but it looks odd. I turned to photo to show the field flow lines. The material from the red arrow flowed to the east. The material from the blue arrow flowed and filled the rim gutter- green arrow(it looks as if it melted). Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Report this Post to the Staff

I took like 5 minutes of googling to even figure out what a struck-through error even was. Then, a few more searches, and I'm now here, typing this, hoping the info I'm lending to you isn't false.

Durwood Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 5:30 pm Thanks for the input. It sure makes me wonder how the strikes have the field flow lines. I would think that if something hit that hard that it would flatten them out. I'm going to hold on to it. It's an odd one, just like me!
