Please don't jump down my throat, I'm not very familir with what I believe to be a strike through. Is this? Thanks, Fish
No. Here's a site to help with identifying problem coins. http://conecaonline.org/content/glossary.html
No i don't think so looks like a form of damage to me I would say that because that;s an old man . I will never jump down your throat that's disgusting HI FISH I'M JAZZCOINS JOE REMEMBER ME JC
Yeah I remember you well. When "justcoins" first showed up I thought the demener was the same as jazz. Lookey lookey, guess so. You got upset when I had asked you if it was the same person. Oh yes, I remember you.
What you see here is 'ghosting'. The technical term is 'internal metal displacement phenomenon'. Due to the continual impacting forces of Lincoln's bust (obverse) on the reverse die, as the die ages it begins to take on a bit of an incuse bend corresponding to the outline of the bust.
Yes, you can clearly make out the imprint of Lincoln's head on the reverse.And yese I am with you Fishaddict, sometimes I wonder when some of these guys lost their "fun" factor for this hobby. I really enjoy looking for coins, and then seeing what other people think of them. I am still learning, and I don't think anyone ever stops learning. When people get to that point where they think they know everything, they really should take a step back and realize they don't. We should have fun with this! It really is an art.
