<p>[QUOTE=&quot;non_cents, post: 1809532, member: 30970&quot;]I&#039;m not confident or wealthy enough to make a wager. I can&#039;t help but see what looks like glue on the coin&nbsp; My guess is that part of what you see is an error, and part of it is not. I will await Jody&#039;s expert opinion on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t help but see what looks like some form of epoxy or glue on pictures 2 and 3 in post 8 at about the 1-2 o&#039;clock, and yes, I know how many times you have said it isn&#039;t. I guess we will find out what it is when Jody gets it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wait...you said your theory is that the coin was struck through a part of the die.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that was so, wouldn&#039;t we see 2 anomalies...a raised die chip somewhere else on the coin, as well as the struck through?</p><p><br /></p><p>In your theory, a piece of the die breaks off. That would leave a cavity in the die elsewhere on the design, and we would see a die break and a struck through...I see a potential struck through, but no die break that would indicate where the piece of the die that broke off came from.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Are you saying that the area where the struck through occurred is also the same place that the die broke off? For some reason I can&#039;t see that happening without the evidence of die cracks or some sort of raised anomaly around the area...</p><p><br /></p><p>For comparison, here is are 2 pages about offset die breaks, something you were getting at in an earlier post, regarding the die breaking, but the piece of the die still remaining attached. <a href="http://www.error-ref.com/ret-cuds-horizontal-offset.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/ret-cuds-horizontal-offset.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/ret-cuds-horizontal-offset.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/ret-cuds-vert-displacement.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/ret-cuds-vert-displacement.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/ret-cuds-vert-displacement.html</a></p><p>Notice again that these anomalies are raised on the coin, not incuse. I certainly have not heard of a struck through die break before, so I cannot guarantee that such an error exists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
