CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 02:38 am I'm pretty sure this is a struck through error but guessing it is from wire.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 07:36 am Very nice find. Congrats. IMHO, a wire wouldn't curve like that and a hair wouldn't "stretch" that much around the base of the "S" before breaking. The way the line curves with the base of the S makes me think this line was on the planchet before being struck. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 1:33 pm Thanks for the comments! I thought this was a pretty nifty find myself. Thanks Petespockets, I agree that the way it curves with the S is a cool curiosity and that hair would break apart too easily unless it was horse hair :) Yes John1, you can see the greasy fingerprints on both sides and I did acetone it. It was not my greasy fingers either :) "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."
