Given the pics posted, I cannot clearly see what may be happening with the quarter. Possibly a struck-through but the image is too small. Can you describe what you have?

I like this coin. Is it a broad strike/ strike thru? It's doesn't appear the packaging is tampered with.

Is that original cello wrapping from the mint or was it packages afterwards? I ask, because I think I see a very nice fingerprint on the obverse near the IGWT. This could be a Struck Through Grease though. |

Even though I'm not an error collector, I find this example quite intriguing and will be very interested to hear more thoughts on what this may be.

to the CCF OP said original package, which would mean from the mint. Looks like a strike through on both sides. Like maybe a piece of heavy string wrapped around the edge of the planchet and was struck into the surface of both sides. Interesting. |

. Can we get a full photo of the entire set? I am thinking maybe a struck through debris or planchet flaw? Will wait for the pros. John1  |

It is an original set from the mint in the cellophane. Was my fathers, passed away, and passed down. Have 1000's of items to go through. I'll get some full set pictures this afternoon when I'm home.
Thanks for all your responses

Well, I am going to have to find a forum on picture taking techniques and equipment. It is hard to get good detail and all the coins in one shot, with the file requirements. Got what I could. Those fingerprints noted above may be mine on the plastic, as I do not see them. Is there any value added to this coin being in a sealed mint set, verses being pulled out?   |

Thats a tuff question. I would think left in the OGB would add some value. You still need to know what it is. Left in the OGP would prove it came from the mint that way, no damage to the cellophane. Wait for some more opinions, maybe Mike Diamond will jump in on this one.

This it is an SMS 1965, struck between September and mid December 1966 at San Francisco Mint. In my mind I have no call for such think for those sets. Is funny because is almost symmetric on both sides.
It is clad coin?

Really cool struck though there! I agree with Cujohn, looks like a string got wrapped around the planchet before it was struck.

IMHO, since both sides appear to be incuse this looks to be struck through something.
The same material is on both die faces. Probably a linear glob of grease fell on one die and was transferred to the second die.
