<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 8153088, member: 73266&quot;]It&#039;s fairly common. I have several proof coins from the mint with the finning attached. Coins struck for circulation are dumped into huge boxes and are rubbed against each other enough that if there was a fin on them it would be broken off fairly early in the coins life. Sometimes the broken off fins are bouncing around in the mint and get struck into another coin as a strike through. I have a Bicentennial Half Dollar with a fin strike through on the reverse. The photos are terrible but its easy to see in the post here.</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/someone-chained-the-entrance-to-independence-hall.259053/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/someone-chained-the-entrance-to-independence-hall.259053/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/someone-chained-the-entrance-to-independence-hall.259053/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
