dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 3:10 pm is this coin "struck through" something or just damage. the arc does NOT match the curve of another cent. the mark does not continue onto the rims. I'm not sure what I have. I just wanted to check with others before I discard it. thanks. Edited by dbrablec 08/31/2011 2:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 5:21 pm The image is too small to tell whether it's an error or post-strike damage. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 9:01 pm Yup, I agree. If it's what I think it could be, it would be a rim to rim die crack...but I would have to see better images to be sure of that. Report this Post to the Staff
BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 08:56 am I was able to magnify your picture and since the arc appears to be incused (indented) into the coin's surface, I imagine that it is post production damage. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 2:52 pm Looks like a big scratch. The picture is too small for me to rule out being struck through a string or wire. Is there any zinc showing? Report this Post to the Staff
dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 5:10 pm no - no zinc is showing. copper colored throughout. Report this Post to the Staff
