<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2490197, member: 24314&quot;]Unfortunately, it appears that &quot;homework&quot; has either scared off the OP or she is still studying.&nbsp; Although there is much better information on the Internet, this is as I understand the difference - quick and simple:&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #b300b3">Struck Thru</span>:&nbsp; Something got between the die and the planchet.&nbsp; It is either still pushed &quot;into&quot; the finished coin or has just left an impression &quot;into&quot; the coin&#039;s surface.&nbsp; Struck thru&#039;s have a different surface inside them than the surface of the coin with borders that are &quot;soft&quot; and mostly blended into the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #b300b3">Counting Wheel Damage</span>:&nbsp; As on the OP&#039;s coin, happened after the coin was made (PMD).&nbsp; This is characterized by a circular groove into the coin&#039;s surface near the rims.&nbsp; IF any relief design such as a letter is present, the damage may carve all or part of it out. </p><p><br /></p><p>NOTE: This is not the same as a &quot;<span style="color: #b300b3">Counting Wheel Mark</span>&quot; which results when a coin gets stuck (and &quot;locally&quot; buffed) under the rubber wheel of the machine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
