Saw this pop up on ebay as an auction. No one bid on it, and I ended up winning it for $5.00 all said and done. I'm very certain that this is struck through reeding, but I welcome any thoughts and opinions. I rarely ever see any examples of these, so I'm having a hard time finding coins to compare it to. Thanks for taking a look!

Only image I have of one. Check close on yours to see if there is any wave created on the affected area. If so them it PSD. If there is no wave, then a piece of metal may have come off another coin.

No wave from my point of view. Looks like a perfect struck through to me. Would you agree that the example I have is struck through reeding?

I have several Roosevelt dimes that were double struck and have broken attached reeding. The first strike was normal(?) and had a reeded edge. The second strike was broad struck and stretched the reeding until it broke. You can get some insight into how the above type of error could happen from this type of error.

The shape of the indentation makes it seem legit to me. Not perfectly straight. Nice find!

Very cool! Looks legit to me. Certainly a rare error. Excellent example.
