Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 4:22 pm Hmm that doesn't look like a lam or strike through to me. Rather I think that this cent is missing the copper plating in one spot and the zinc is oddly colored (as opposed to the normal shiny grey).

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 6:58 pm I'm wondering if there was something on the planchet before it was plated. Then fell off leaving the bare zinc. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 10:57 am If this area is raised, you may want to soak it in acetone to see if dislodges the gunk. If this area is incuse, I think it's a strike through with retained material (I would leave the gunk in place.) It looks like it's incuse, but I can't tell for sure. I can also see reflections along the edges that make it look incuse. Would you let us know? I have cent with a retained strike through somewhere in my collection. When I find it I'll see if I can get a decent picture and post it. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
