Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 07/22/2006 5:22 pm Hi Amac Struck Through Grease ,, interesting that the reverse would not show signs of it , this usually results in a transfer or at the least a weak area on the opposing side of the coin.

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 07/22/2006 9:13 pm Hi Amac The market for such coins is small at best, the coin will be better appreciated in your collection in My opinion. The best struck throughs are the ones struck thru wire or Textile with the object retained in the coin. Personally I do not part with any that I find. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 07/22/2006 9:33 pm As a Mercury collector myself I would keep this in my misc. box in a good vinyl coin flip so that I could show it around. I wouldn't get rid of it though. Report this Post to the Staff
