jbuck Moderator United States 189053 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 11:50 am Based on what I see in the pictures I voted for struck through. However, I reserve the right to change my mind if I were to see the coin in hand. This has nothing to do with photo quality; Coop's photos are always excellent! But this is a single-view two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional object that has multiple views. I am just not good enough to interpolate the missing the data.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/04/2010 5:31 pm Ok, it seems like the poll has scrolled on the one day page. Here are the results. Post mint damage [16%] 9 votes Rim bur damage [4%] 2 votes Struck through error [55%] 31 votes Parking lot coin [0%] 0 votes Damaged in a garage [2%] 1 votes Cut with a box knife [16%] 9 votes Something else? [7%] 4 votes ANSWERS: Post mint damage [16%] 9 votes Coin was still in mint cello. Not damaged. Not re-sealed. If the coin was damaged almost impossible to find something that small (Except for wire) to make this mark. The reverse was totally normal, so it wasn't damaged. Rim bur damage [4%] 2 votes This is also a strike though error, but with a larger piece of material making a mark which would have been too large to make these marks. Struck through error [55%] 31 votes Correct answer. Struck through wire. Parking lot coin [0%] 0 votes Still in wrapper. Not typical damage. No one voted. YEA! Damaged in a garage [2%] 1 votes Whay would make a mark this small and not affect the reverse. Cut with a box knife [16%] 9 votes The plating would have been removed if this happened. It would look like this: Something else? [7%] 4 votes Not a trick question.... this time.... Not to dis-hearten anyone, just education. You never know what you will find out there? A lot of correct answers. NICE! Thanks guys. Ready for another one? Edited by coop 12/04/2010 7:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 12/04/2010 6:11 pm I did not get a chance to vote but I went with struck thru. I have two struck through wire Lincolns :-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
clairhardesty Pillar of the Community United States 1027 Posts	Posted 12/04/2010 6:14 pm The one thing that made me say knife (which does not have to go through the plating) was the tapering ends. I guess if the wire pieces were formed by pulling instead of cutting, this is perfectly natural. Just for fun, here are a couple more struck throughs, one grease (you can just see that some of it was in the serif on the T) and the other lint (which is still embedded in the coin). Both are 2009 Lincoln dollar reverses, one proof and one uncirculated. Edited by clairhardesty 12/04/2010 6:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/04/2010 6:26 pm Ugh, foiled again by a 2-D computer monitor It appeared to be a raised line to me, not indented like a struck through. Once again, nothing beats having the coin in hand because I could have figured that out in about two seconds Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/04/2010 7:00 pm The marks on the second image appear to be thread. Unlike wire, they curl in many directions. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...h_thread.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...h_thread.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...Williams.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...a_Images.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Although I did get this one right. Thanks for the quiz, Coop!
