Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 12:32 pm I hope you can tell from the pics, but the strike-through is fairly deep and seems to show ridges (like maybe it was made from screw threads?) and doesn't appear to have affected the obverse. Since it is somewhat unusual, I thought it might be of interest to you all. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 12:36 pm Looks like a lamination. If the weight is slightly under it could be a lamination. If the weight is normal, then it is a struck through. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 5:22 pm This it is more a ex-foliation then strike through. The weight, the perimeter forms of the missing part speak more about this. Also the lines see inside the missing part. This ex-foliation will continue, look at the at the line NNW.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 10:25 pm Lam, but 10% less is a lot of weight for such a small lam. I'm going to say thin planchet to start out with. Along with wear. Report this Post to the Staff
