Hey all, apologies off the bat as these are not my photos. Just wanted to share some pictures of this struck-through '79-O Morgan. It looks like there are two on the Reverse - one around 4:00 plus the big guy. Let me know what you think!   |

Need way better pix to help.
I had an 1882S that I thought was a
Strike thru that looked similar.
Came back from ANACS as scratched .

The marks at Dollar and America are scrapes.
I'm not seeing moved metal on the vertical "stripe", so I think that's it's a strike-through.

@Hondo thanks very much for the opinion. Can you tell me how to differentiate the two? The marks at Dollar and America appear to me to be pretty clean and still show detail underneath. I would think a scrape would leave more jagged edges, but I'm admittedly a novice when it comes to strikethroughs. Thanks again!

There is no displaced metal, and the texture is similar to others of that error. 100% strikethrough, and nice find at that! Pretty significant for a Morgan dollar. Suffering from bust half fever.

Unimpossible, look for smears and moved metal - those are signs of a scrape.
The scrape starts on the letter C and proceeds south to Dollar. From C it goes across A and the star, hits the top of the R, jumps and then hits the A.
With a strike-through, the appearance is static without smearing. I suppose that you have to look at quite a few damaged coins to start recognizing the signs.

I'm in the strucktrhough camp as well. Nice additional images.
The tips of the serifs on the "C" are unaffected and would certainly show damage if it were a scrape.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Thank you @Petespockets55. That's a good point about the tips of the C, I hadn't thought of that. I'll be sending it to PCGS this week so we'll see how she does.

I have to agree with Hondo. One nice strike through, and a lot of scrapes.
