Okay, so the reason why I think that this is a struck through. I am not sure if the rim of the coin is cut after the coin is pressed in Brazil, but if it is, directly above, on the opposite side of the rim from the reverse is like the blankelsy effect, but on the obverse. I think the struck through is. Brazil coins are like quarters, when the obverse is right side up, the reverse is upside down
Thr Blakesley Effect is only seen on Clipped Planchets, not on struck throughs. I am not to sure about your coin. Might be damage.
I know that. But if the rim was cut after pressing, I think that the opposite side of the rim would be affected as well. I was using blankelsy as a simile
Not really.. A strike through that small wouldn't be enought to affect the opposite side. If it was a Strike Through, which I don't think it is.
Well yeah I know that you don't think it is, I am just saying how I am thinking. My clipped dime didn't have enough clip in my eyes to exhibit the blankelsy effect but still did, but still has it. But I do find it strange how it almost looks like if I were to photoshop cut out the outline of the obverse affected area and place onto the reverse, it almost looks like it fits in like a puzzle. In other words, if you measure the gap its about the same on both sides. But I get it lol it's not
No, i thought cuds was too much metal or something during the stamping process, and the US mint cuts the edge before struck i believe. I think the blakesley effect could exhibit on a defective plantchet maybe though
