HUGE strike through error?

I've not seen a coin with this much of a strike through error, but then again, I'm not nearly as expert as many of you. I found this searching through rolls. Please give you opinion as to whether that is what it is and potential worth with this much of one.

Thanks (I also found a blank planchet this morning and will include that as well in my pics).

Man I don't know. Die wear/fatigue? It's just that in struck-throughs you want to see some better definition and demarcation along the borders of the damage, and this example is kind of obscure in that respect.

On that blank, that's really cool. I have one that's more copper-rich. Yours appears to have a tad more of the bonding on the copper. I don't have time to look up that thread, but short of it is, this was probably punched-out toward the end of the strip where it hadn't been bonded properly or completely, result being the pure copper core, for the most part, missing the intended bonding. Something like that.

 

Is the half possibly post mint damage? It doesn't look like it to me, but it is really different looking.

 

Weird I don't see this being post mint damage also I don't know if it was done by excessive heat either. I think it's a odd strike thru error

I have to say it has the look of an indent but not quite. I hsve to say something struck this coin not a human there's no indication of that on the obverse either

It's a strike through, of what I couldn't tell you for sure but it's probably grease.

 

No it;s not grease i don't think ,there are indentations in the coin scroll up i posted a pic of the area.Something else struck this coin.I would say struck thru die cap.

I see you changed you initial post from post mint damage. If you look at the rim it's still there. What's a struck thru die cap?

 

That;s because I examined the coin further it;s a struck thru late stage die cap.
JC

 

Explain how that could happen on this coin to leave that partial image 'struck thru late stage die cap'. Thanks

 

I don't need to explain it i wasn't there at the mint when it happen but go look up the meaning of capped dies and maybe you will get a general idea of how this error was made partially

It looks like it's been struck through grease IMO. If it was struck by a die cap wouldn't the whole reverse be blank.

 

Well then grease it is, but there was a recent post here a cent that looked greased filled die to me, and just a portion of the coin was just like this one ,and somebody called it a struck thru late stage die cap. The post is called.grease filled die.

This coin just doesn't look like grease effected it there;s more to the story with this coin it;s to intense for just grease and there are indents on this coin something else struck this coin not just grease
just my opinion.
Thanks Joe just coins

 

When the strike through error is this large, is there a higher premium on it? Or, is it just work 3 or 4 bucks to the right error searcher. Just curious.

This is the biggest strike through that I've seen. That was one big blob of grease (or whatever it was)...

 

Well if it;s just grease not that much but yours is pretty much to the extreme and probably can get maybe 20 bucks for it on ebay or more depending on who wants it and it's a kennedy halve dollar


Now if it was a Struck thru late stage die cap it would be worth a couple of hundred dollars or a foriegn object strike thru maybe twenty or more again whoever would want the coin.

Maybe I should send it into the "Collector's Clearinghouse" in CoinWorld

 

that amazing do you think it is worth it to get it certified

 

I don't know.....I need to more experts to weigh in on it. I'm a neophyte at error coins...

 

Yes I believe it would. That's why it's a strike through grease.
here's a capped die jc

I'd say struck through grease. If this was struck through a partial very late stage capped die I was expect to see a sharp demarcation at the edge where it is struck through on one side and not struck through in the other and I'm just not seeing that.

 

I would like to know then what are these indentations if this was just struck thru grease,and not something of a different nature that took part of the coin out like that because grease will not make any indentations like that as far as i know.

I indicated in red arrows please somebody explain to me in detail

I would just like to know and learn something that i don't know Condor

Thanks JC
