#1: That is the reverse, not the obverse.

#2: POSSIBLY a struck thru a wire, but it could also be post mint. We'd need closeups to be sure, and even then it may not be apparent if it is mint made or post mint.

 

I know it's not post mint damage ,and sorry about the wrong side of the coin mistake. The image is from some kind of strike thru error and i was thinking the same thing Treashunt ,a wire is the culprit it has that appearance. Thanks for looking Treas. here's a closeup of the strike thru

Still tough to see, however, the second picture is more convincing.

NOW Ya got me!

Okay, I have to agree, I see no evidence of metal flow above the mark.

So, it appears that you have a winner.

Anyone else?

 

I;m I forcing you to agree with me Treas. :headbang: This coin is in MS 66 or better you can't tell by the pics.

Thanks again at least you agree with me my wife never does. encil:

Thanks again for the last time JC

PS Are you sure?:desk:

 

Yep, definitely a strike through.

 

Wow you agreed with me finally.Kiss

I agree with the strike through, my guess would be a wire too. Nice coin, except for that pesky finger print on the obv.

 

It's a 'struck through' alrighty.

 

Do you live in my house?

At least my mother-in-law is consistant -- she NEVER agrees with me.

The most often said words in her house: "You're wrong, Frank."

 

If a man speaks in the woods & nobody hears him, is he still wrong?

Very best regards,
