A strike through would be indented into the coin, not raised. I'd think this was a die break, or something stuck to the coin.
"Fraud tools"? Not any more than a pen is a fraud tool because you can use it to forge signatures. I'm sure there are people who just want nice,...
It doesn't really look like a split planchet, but it does very much look like a coin that's had one side ground off. It's worth even less than a...
You can buy "original" empty rolls and crimping tools cheaply on eBay or elsewhere.
Can you provide some citations backing this assertion? I understand the rules about "found money", but I'm not sure how you equate found money to...
