VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 1:45 pm I am still learning so much but I am uncertain if this cent is struck through or something else. I would say cloth from looking at it but it is the same on both sides. Human damage? Your ideas please. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 2:50 pm It is light so maybe soaked in acid for awhile. I would think a Dryer Coin or if heat was applied it would be closer to the normal 3.11 grams Report this Post to the Staff

VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 4:37 pm Not to be skeptical, I respect the opinions, but I was thinking it should look more like these coins if it were an acid bath. One of these coins only weighs 2.85g. I'm sure different acids have different results, so another lesson learned. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 5:45 pm If it was a strike through the coin would only show it on the side that the object was, not both sides. In order for that to happen the planchet would have to be wrapped in cloth before striking, or there would have to be cloth on both sides of the die, both of which are very unlikely.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 11:55 pm This is 99.99% a post mint damaged coin. I'd say hammered in between leather after being heated up? Acid might be the cause, but to me it has more of a dimpled hammer look to it. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
