<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 7524631, member: 84179"]Agree with it being a scratch. It appears that there's displaced metal along the edges of the scratch. A strike through would have a flat field leading up the recessed area while a die crack wouldn't be recessed. Displaced metal is an easy way distinguish strike throughs from damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=115232]@SensibleSal66[/USER] FYI, This is a 1940 cent with a copper planchet, not copper plated zinc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
