1994 Silver Dollar - Error?

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can give me a steer as to whether this is a genuine error (and if so, what type?). There is no damage to the rear of the coin, just what can be seen in the below image.

Its a 1994 silver dollar which I picked up on ebay (UK) around 15 years ago.

Thanks!

The more appropriate name is ASE=American Silver eagle can we get full pictures of the coin obverse and reverse .

 

to me it appears to be jewelry damage.

 

Looks like a Struck Through.. Not damage.

 

I don't see any displaced metal, I also think struck thru.

 

strike through

 

Thanks very much everyone!

 

You changed your mind? Good.

 

Cool strike through

 

Nice strike through but it's not a silver dollar. It's an ASE that's made of silver, .999 fine 1 oz., with the value of a dollar. It's worth more than a dollar based on the silver content.

 

Thanks for the bit of knowledge - I'm more into banknotes hence the newbie type slip-ups!

 

I'm with the strikethrough theory. It's possible that it was the result of a dropped element (grease-fill).

 

It's a dollar, and it's made of silver. It's a silver dollar.

So is a Morgan dollar, but a Morgan is still a silver dollar.

 

Try spending it and you'll see what I'm saying.

 

You would probably have problems spending either one of them. But point out that it is clearly maked as being a dollar and you could probably spend either of them.
