Could this be a Die Dent ? Good Question !!!

 

Everyone please forgive me for going off track, but is it really wise to drown your garden in weed killer?

 

That is damage from the edge of another ASE.... a contact mark.

 

My 82 year old Father isn't putting a Garden in this year, or any other .
Once the weeds die, til it, level it, then grass seed and last, put down the straw so the birds don't eat the seed .

Weed killer, doesn't hurt the grass either, which soon will be growing ....

If it had been a strikethrough, there wouldn't be any raised metal.

I am always willing to learn something new.if you can provide me with any evidence that verifies your statement it would be appreciated.

It is well-known that your are an encyclopedia when it comes to error coins. As you demonstrate quite often on CT. It is possible I just do not know where to search for the information that says debris cannot cause raised metal on the surface of a coin.USMC60

 

It's not a struck thru anything, imo.

As others have said, it's a contact mark,
probably from another ASE, but it could
have been anything.

I'm fairly familiar with Struck Thru's of
many different types, and based on the
photos, this is not a struck thru of any
kind; it's a contact hit, both in the field
on on the 'V'letter below it.

 

I'm very familiar to Fred, with strike-through .

I am not sure what that article has to do with the PMD of this thread, however, if you are contradicting Fred W., you are making a big mistake.

 

I can see both sides of the argument on this one, why don't we add a planchet flaw or some sort of lamination. I think that it is one that needs an in hand view, to come to a conclusion.
When do you see your CONECA friends next, @Rick Stachowski

 

I'll see Ken at what ever show he's going too, or sooner . I purchased a 1960-D Large over small date, from him ..

 

I can, and should be contradicted when
I'm wrong - no problem there.

I'm just saying that although I can see where some
view the area in question as to 'what caused it', my
opinion is that it does not look like any other type
of struck thru I've seen, and does look like contact marks
in both the field and on the letter that are very very
consistent with contact from another coin or object.......
......after it was minted

As said above, someone will eventually see the ASE in-hand,
and will come to a 100% conclusive opinion. I'm just 98.8%
certain it's not a struck thru of any type.
