Strike-Through Error?

[Rowdyricster]

I've culled a lot of coins that, to me, have obvious PSD. This one is a bit different. On the OBV it appears there was a strike-through of something. It was something curved. It begins at the bottom of Lincoln's coat and curves up impacting the lower edge of the D, then continues curving up, slicing through the 3. It continues up, but from there it is less pronounced.

On the REV, I don't know if that would be a strike-through, but it appears to be parts of letters in the rim above AMER.

I've spent some time today on the internet trying to find anything similar, but to no avail. Any ideas?

Chances are if it's anything it's just where another coin was pressed into it. That's why the rim is flattened in areas.

I agree. It is damage. Someone may have tried to press another cent into it using a pliers or vise. That would explain what we see on both sides.

Looks like a vice job a.k.a. Garage Job to me also... Here is some info from our Glossary -

Garage Job: Also called a squeeze job, vice job, or hammer job, this is intentional post-strike damage when a coin is smashed against another coin or object, usually in an attempt to make it look like a genuine mint error. When squeezed or smashed against another coin, a mirror-image in reverse relief of each coin’s devices will transfer onto the other. Below you can see a mirrored incuse LIBERTY on the coin as the result of being pressed into another cent.

It certainly does help, and it even makes cents to me. So much to learn...thanks for taking the time to respond.

I only have one of these, (vise) but I have a lot of these, (vice)!!

Looks like damage. It might not even be intentional.
The table is rocking, one cent isn't enough but 2 works. Next thing you know someone picks up 2 cents and they look like that.

I just noticed that I stated a Garage Jon instead of Job which is ok if needing to go to the head but not for the intended context

Well, since we are picking on words here... the proper term is "struck through". The way I remember this is Will saying in a thread a long time ago... this is a strike through "s-t-r-i-k-e t-h-r-o-u-g-h" (I couldn't actually place the strike through the letters)

Struck Through: A struck-though error happens when a foreign object gets between the dies and an unstruck planchet. When the dies strike the coin, the foreign object will also be struck into it, leaving an incuse impression in the coin. The “foreign object” may be anything, such as cloth, wire, grease, dirt, metal scraps, or even another coin which had stuck to one of the dies, called a die cap.

Lol, I did a search and found that thread. Here was the attachment. This is a strike-through.
