<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 83242, member: 66&quot;]Not true, whether or not details show under a strikethrough depends on the thickness and mallability of the item being struck through.&nbsp; The depth, and there for the thickness of the struck through item, on the coin in question is rather shallow.&nbsp; If this was struck through a flake of metal (a lamination) that had fallen from another planchet it is very believable that the underlying details would still show.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you find a clad coin that has had a clad layer fall off after striking, you will find that you can still see the details of the design in the copper core.&nbsp; (although they will be weaker.)&nbsp; It is the same with a thin strikethrough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
