63' D Jeff S thru+ weird letters

1. Obverse strike through from D in God to the W in We, another curved one
2. Reverse Through the M in unum
I think I see a few others around it too.
3.ates in states, reverse, seems very umm off
4.something going on before and with the E on reverse ;E Plurbis, In between the L and U too

5.CE IN Monticello
6. Reverse CA in America
For that matter all words them selves seem very off on this coin from every Example I compare it to, right on down to the rough ones

And are the pits on the back gouges or Strk thrus?
On the far right column it seems to be split.? I think I see a few other but on the building it self?

Is that a 1987-D?

 

Unfortunately this is not a strike through. It's Post Mint Damage. You can tell by the way the metal in W and in the fields is displaced. During the striking process with a true strike through, that displaced metal does not happen like that. It ends up getting forced to move with the rest of the metal, leaving a sharp edge where the object was.

 

63' D

Thanks for the input first and foremost, I would think displacement was from something else during minting on the reverse on obervse strike thru, the edges of the strike thru I'm sure are worn.
I can't image a way to shift letter as such that wouldn't scratch it completely up with score it up, you guys?

 

@jtlee321 is right. It is nothing more than damage. Think of the metal displaced by a gouge as the "crater effect" where the metal is pushed up along the mark. If any one of these marks had been a strikethrough, the die, itself, would have prevented the metal from rising above the mark.

Actually, this coin looks like it spent a bit of time on a roadway or parking lot and has what we would call "road rash".

Which one is this? Thanks.

 

That would be Post Mint Damage as well. The tell on it is the way part of the device has moved away from it's original position. A true strike through will have all devices in their original position with no displaced metal rising above the surrounding surfaces.

 

Here is an example of a true strike through. It's on an Eisenhower Dollar. Notice the edges of the affected area and how they are flush with the surface of the fields and the areas of the date have not been moved at all.

 

Here is another strikethrough on a 2006-P Kennedy Half Dollar. Note how the area flanking the mark is flush with the field.
