Error Struck Through | 1955 Struck Through?

[duece2seven]

Just a curiosity here but is there something sticking through WE? Looks whitish up close. String maybe?

That is interesting... Would be strange if a string would be inbeded into the metal like that... Could be a deep gouge... What about the notching on the "W"... Or is that just my wishful vision

Funny you mention that. Just noticed it myself. This was the first coin out of a BU roll. I shall investigate further.....

I agree that the "line" across the W is die damage. However, the "notching" on the W is normal. I will point out that both of you are listed in the list of people who have already read this thread: http://www.lincolncentforum.com/foru...ference-thread Look at the 2nd picture down in section 2. The notch on that W spans decades. It is normal. Read it again and absorb.

Well, that's why I made it a picture-book.

Just wanted to confirm the die damage diagnosis. There were about 10 coins in this roll with the same defect. Shall we call it the "Speared" WE?

Multiple coins from the same OBW roll with this same anomaly would be consistent with die damage. It is usual to find several coins from the same die in such a roll. That's what makes searching OBWs so fun. If you manage to find a variety, you are likely to find multiples of them.

Speared WE sounds good to me... And no need to research the notching

I've got several in this roll that I'm trying to attribute as extra thick DDO's. Trying to get proper marker shots before I post. Finding markers on these dies is challenging to say the least! Hopefully, will put these up tommorrow. thanks
