Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 12/04/2021 9:36 pm Not struck through but rather chemical/environmental exposure leading to surface discoloration. Could be from a cup holder, but I'm going to guess that it was in a water fountain.

Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 12/04/2021 9:42 pm Thank you. Finding an error coin is not easy! However, I believe in the law of averages so I'll keep searching! :) Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/04/2021 11:12 pm I totally agree with all FIVE statements from above. This is a chemically environmentally altered cup holder discoloured cent that is not a strike through, and yes, true error coins ARE difficult to find because NOT ALL COINS ARE ERROR COINS. The law of averages are such that you can search though 100,000 cents and NOT find a single error coin! We would much rather you find an error coin while collecting coins and come to us with it than trying to find errors in every transaction from your local gas station. Report this Post to the Staff
