Are you trying to incite a conversation about unretained strikethru's of a reeded collar'?

 

Sorry for the delayed response, I did not get a notification of a reply on this thread as far as I know. Anyway I was trying to revive this old thread as I now have news on the coin in question which I will post below

 

Good evening all

a while has passed since this thread but I wanted to post an update regarding this coin and the question I had asked. My pictures are generally not very good so members on here may not see the damage I am attempting to capture and post for opinions. The good news is that after sending this in for authentication it has arrived back as a strike through ( I will post pictures below ) many thanks to @Insider for all the help and guidance on this one.

It is also a reason that you got a MS63. I have only seen a few coins with reeded edge impressions grade above 64. And never one labeled as an error. @paddyman98

 

Thank you for the reply. By a reeded edge impression do you mean struck through a piece of reeded edge that fell off of another coin? I was very happy with the result as I done have any other slabbed mint errors although I should probably send some more off to a TPG when I get the time.

 

I am unconvinced this is a pressed in reed mark. It's too deep. Something hard and shaped like reeding was between the dies and struck into the coin. The coin was between the dies when it happened as otherwise the coin is normal with a nice reverse.

 

Thank you for the reply and clearing that up. And thanks again for all of your help it was very much appreciated

 

@Insider saw the coin, I am wondering though, what else looks like reeding but a chunk of a collar? I would think that the coin would have to have a cud, Or an IDB that corresponded with the dropped element.
A failure in the coin press could leave some debris...

 

My first thought was denticles from a broken die but none of our modern coins have them. Then collar reeding but they are not rounded. I was not around when this happened so it's a big mystery. A punch of some kind is the simplest answer but there was no evidence for that. It will be up to the error experts who see the actual coin to agree or not.
