Jim, you are such a mess!!:LOL_Hair:
Jon sent this coin to me for an in hand look... Thanks Jon... It is pretty cool looking... It is incuse... While it does look like the west side of a column and capital I believe it is a struck thru foreign object... The edges look crooked but are sharp when looking thru the loupe at 30x... The red arrow is what appears to be a die scratch/abrasion that I used for visual alignment in my overlay (last full rev pic)... The only column I was able to match closely with is C1... I did 3 close up pics with lite at slightly different angles!!!

Great work Jon and Jim! It's nice to see unusual ones like this have an explanation... cool struck through foreign object!
