Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73756 Posts	Posted 04/03/2026 5:09 pm Just gunk on the coin. PMD. It should come off with pure acetone. As stated by JimmyD, a true Struck Through error would be Incused, not raised. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 04/04/2026 01:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
