coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/20/2023 11:07 am This appears to be a struck through something like string. If it were metal there would be definite ends. This does not, so I feel this is string. Depending on the string, sometimes you can see twist on the string that shows on the victim coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 01/20/2023 11:18 am Thanks coop, I think I can see the twist pattern slightly with the coin in hand, but it is faint. I guessed struck through string because I can see the end of it and it looks slightly frayed. I can see the individual strings on the end imprinted in the metal. Report this Post to the Staff
