    Here is the reverse of my 2019-W Proof Cent.

    Has anyone else received one from the U.S. Mint? I have been told this may be the only one.

    Looks like a nice struck thru for a proof coin.

    The first photo looks like an indentation, but the
    second photo looks like it's raised, and something
    is still on the coin....Is that 'stuff' there, or is it just
    the photo and lighting?

    It's probably the first 19-W Proof Cent with a struck thru
    reported, but there could easily be more, depending on
    what the material was, and if it were on the die, it
    could have struck a dozen or two coins before falling off
    the die. (if it wasn't on the planchet itself, which I doubt)

    .....just my initial thoughts

    Very nice and a sure keeper. Just order another set to get one without an error.

    This is the discovery coin as reported in Coin World. It is an indentation.
    There is no imbedded material.
