coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2009 7:14 pm Looks like a strike-through thread? Can't tell what size it is from the images. But thread would turn like that would. Wire leaves a stronger size and less curled impression on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 04/17/2009 11:34 pm Decided to spruce up the "Struck Thru " half with a little "Acetone Bath" and look what happened! It was foreign matter on the coin- glue maybe? Glad I didn't store this thing thinking it was a nice error! Guess I now have a "Struck Through Acetone" Half (LOL) Report this Post to the Staff
