TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 04/20/2022 10:48 pm Just a quick addition to this thread. Mike Diamond looked at it and he shared doubts that this is struck through. Rather corrosion from metal filament that mst have rested on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
