<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3879438, member: 84179&quot;]You have yet to offer a plausible explanation on how the mark on your coin could be strike through like you claim.&nbsp;&nbsp; You are making the common mistake that many new collectors make.&nbsp; You assume a coin is an error when you can’t explain what caused the damage (although many knowledgeable collectors have offered explanations in previous posts).&nbsp; There are countless ways for a coin to be damaged but only a limited number of ways that an error can occur.&nbsp; You need to explain how the mark on your coin was created during the minting process.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin can’t be a strike through because the line is discontinuous.&nbsp; It jumps over some low points on the design.&nbsp; Please explain how this could happen during the minting process. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW:&nbsp; If you are anywhere near Los Angeles, you may want to consider showing it to an error expert in Encino.&nbsp; He’s been selling errors since the 60’s and is one of the owners of error-ref.com.&nbsp; Even the TPGs use him as a consultant to authenticate major errors such as the latest 1943 Copper cent the was sold recently.&nbsp;&nbsp; He is also CT member and responds to questions.&nbsp; If you can’t get to LA, you may want to reread his responses that were recently posted in this thread.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hopefully your expert has similar qualifications.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
