What?

 

Strike through... I thought there were wire staples or wire brissles that would end up on a coin

 

I don't see anything.

Maybe a stain also or carbon spot????
1960 P+D dies were not change they ran them til broken

 

i see no strike thru...

 

Here's a pretty nice example. (Unfortunately, my pictures are a little rough).

 

Awesome retained strikethrough! I wonder how the Mint used staples like that.

Chris,

I think the general consensus is that these are from a wire brush used for cleaning.

 

That sounds logical. Thanks!

Chris

 

Thanks, feel stupid thinking strike through knowing that would have to be embedded in the coin, this looks like an upside-down triange slightly raised

 

That may be the "general consensus" but it doesn't make it correct. I've yet to see a wire brush "bristle" that has the shape of a brad.

I seriously doubt that this retained item is from a wire brush based upon the wire brushes I've seen.

Whatever it is, though, it's very cool!
