Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5675 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 1:52 pm It's hard to imagine how a strike through debris could obliterate part of the building, yet have only a minimal effect on the letters. I think it was a lamination defect that broke off before striking, leaving a void that partially filled in when the coin was struck. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 09/23/2021 09:34 am Can't design details be left behind by laminations or struck throughs that have fallen out? IMHO, if the material is thin enough and has a similar composition for either one, the underlying details would still be visible when the metal fell out. I'm basing my belief this is a struck through on the overall rectangular shape of the depression with clearly defined edges. Laminations tend to be more linear and are often ragged at the edges. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 09/23/2021 09:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 09/23/2021 11:57 am Loving this debate! At the first I thought lamination simply b/c it looks like one at first glance. But after thinking about it I changed to strike through. The uniformity is just not what delam errors exhibit and a thin foreign object would theoretically make something look like this. The object also would not necessarily have to have uniform thickness so one area could be deeper than another. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
