If memory serves me correct the strike pressure is 80 tons with a production rate of 12 coins per second??? Even a cotton string at that pressure becomes nearly as hard as the copper... Like Bob said - definitely one to keep... Do you still want me to get pics for you???

Yes please. Your images are always top notch and make it easy to see.
Cliff sent me this coin to look at... Very cool... Best I can tell it is a struck thru and probably a piece of copper... There is a retained piece from the tip of the 1st A of STATES to the rim... I used pointers to show the edges on both sides... It even has die abrasions across it... The rest of the area where the piece fell out runs down well into C1... I did some close up pics for ya'll... Notice how sharp the edges are along the entire length... There is also no apparent damage in the canyon... The only edge areas that are not sharp are where they cross the devices... Thanks Cliff for letting me look at and get pics of this coin... I appreciate it!!!

Very nice work and pics Jim!! Cliff, that is a nice struck through!
Thank you very much. Superb images again Jim.
Very clearly shows the piece left in the area between the rim and the first A.
(Don't know why I didn't see that originally with the coin in hand. Sheesh! )

I could not see it to well with the loupe either... Wasn't sure until I was able to zoom in!!!
