Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 08/29/2025 07:12 am It looks like there is an area above the recess that is raised. That raised area couldn't happen with a "struckthrough". As the dies strike the planchet, they keep any metal from rising above the coins design. Can you post a clear close-up of the area in question so we can see the bottom of the depression? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 08/29/2025 07:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 08/29/2025 08:42 am Sorry, looks like gouges as per Petespockets explanation. It is essential for newbies wanting to discern real errors from the untold millions of damaged coins they will encounter to know the minting and die making process. Damaged coins often have people wondering if they are valuable error coins. To escape being fooled by simple damage, a person need, at a minimum, to know the minting and die making processes. :D The coin minting process: mqPvKxJXC_Y t=PLoycqRjxZI6bXgwQ_KXbokrSInWDK4LP6&index=7 How coin dies are made/used: https://www.coinnews.net/2014/01/06...oduce-coins/ How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
