1920 Wheat lamination error?

It would be real easy to tell what the error is with a tooth pic.
Find an edge and try to easily peel it back. If this is a retained strike through.
The underside should look like a loss of lamination.
Here is a 1945 S
Maybe not this deep but it will show some type of design loss.

Lol, Who doesn’t enjoy a little mystery?

 

But why not struck through without saying anything and accept that it was struck through something? Though, I think this is a great way to differentiate whether we know what it is struck through.

 

I’m honestly amused by the thread guys. I’m just starting out, and have some pretty good stuff; recently inherited. I believe it’s pretty good, at least. Thanks for the help guys; really appreciate it!

 

We like pictures!

 

Because if someone says to me, "Struck through", I'll immediately wonder, Struck through what?"

Here is a Kennedy I have that appears to have been "Struck Through Wire". I'm not 100% sure, though, but it is definitely a "Strikethrough".

I was curious to that as well regarding the coin in question. Hahaha

Perhaps I am seeing more than I should, or even possiblely less.

 

"Who doesn't enjoy a little mystery?"

 

What do you think would sell better? A coin identified as a "Struck Through" or one that was identified as "Struck Through a Mint Worker's Finger"?

When I get home, I’ll post another picture from the top angle. I’m not sure anything would go underneath anything on the coin; Not even a toothpick. I’d like to know you’re opinion after seeing it from that angle.

 

I don't want to give you the inclination that you need to force the issue.
The coin is interesting enough.

It would be interesting to see close ups of where the silvering starts.

 

Understood. I’ll send better pictures. It’s actually not silver at all. I realize now, it does appear that way in the photo I posted. It’s just smoother in that area. Looks like a regular Lincoln cent from a better angle. I’ll show you and you can take a look whenever you get a chance. It may be nothing special.

 

Sorry for the double post

 

This is a better angle I hope.

 

With the new photo, most definitely not a strike through. Paint, glue or something melted.

 

Thanks man
