<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 118005, member: 4920"]Just an update, here, and I'll post those pics to Error Coins once I finally break down and get that digital camera. This was caused by a string of some kind stuck to the die or lying across the coin when the coin was pressed, and when the die was lifted, the string was lifted with it, tearing the fissure across the coin and leaving a small deposit of residual alloy in the corner of the coin, at the end of tear. I know you all can't see this from the small scanned images, but you did give me enough key words to research the issue, and I appreciate that. This would be a strike through on the lamination of the coin wherein the foreign object was simply a piece of string or thread or bristle of some kind. So, thanks, again. Hey, feeling like Sherlock Holmes... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
