Bear with me here, strike throughs aren't my strong suit. I'm thinking it could be a rim burr because it's incuse, and I'm seeing none of the zinc core. But I'm not experienced enough to make a definite claim. What do y'all think? Thank you!    |

@sil, I could go either way on this one. It could be a circulation hit or a small strike through. Let's see what others think.

Thank you very much Spence! Well this is fairly ironic. I think I might've actually found an ACTUAL struck through rim burr. At least, based on this post: http://goccf.com/t/395218&SearchTerms=Rim+BurrI just found this on a 2019 LSC:   It's also incuse. But does this discredit the original coin in the post? If it doesn't I'm curious as to why the zinc is being shown on my 2019 cent, but not the original one. |

I agree with merclover, who agrees with john1. The 2019 look like metal was shifter from a circulation hit,a struck through should not show any sort of raised edge around the event.

Gotcha, thank you all for evaluating that 2019 one, I can see what you're talking about for sure, the edges are indeed ridged.
What of the 1986 however? Any opinions on that fella?

The 1986 does look like a struck through rim bur.

It looks like the '86 took a hit from the edge of another coin. But I don't yet know that a rim bur is or what it looks like.
Can sombody please explain what a 'struck through rim bur is?

Definition: A wide range of foreign objects, from large to microscopic can end up being struck into planchets and coins. Metal dust is a common contaminant in coinage presses and generally leaves tiny, irregular pits in the coin's surface. However, if the metal is of a different composition and color, and if it's retained, it can easily be seen under a microscope. When it's combined with lubricant and dirt, metal dust contributes to a compacted, hardened form of "grease" that is frequently struck into coins. Part VI error.com |
