Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/17/2024 10:29 pm Odd to see a strike-through showing on both sides like this. I think this is PMD from a shears. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24952 Posts	Posted 12/17/2024 10:46 pm The edges of the "strike through" are quite well-defined (sharp) which doesn't seem to be consistent with the wear on the coin.

Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 12/17/2024 11:59 pm I agree, it looks like somebody took shears to the edge of the coin. It looks like the closer to the coin, the less deep the cut becomes. With shears, this is what you would expect since the greatest cutting pressure would exist nearest the pinch point.
