Message:: [QUOTE="Publius2, post: 8344415, member: 105571"]Here's what I obverse: 1)  The mark is linear with a very large length to width ratio and with both sharp and gradual changes in direction that would imply a piece of wire or a fiber thread, thus a strike-through. 2)  I see no raised edges along the sides of the mark nor entry/exit marks at the ends of the mark, thus implying that the mark is not a scratch in the coin's surface and further that the mark is raised above the surface of the coin's field.  Also, the light is directed from the top of the photo, illuminating what appears to be the "upper" side of the C but the "lower" side of the mark, implying that the mark is incuse to the coin's field, i.e. the light from the north is reflecting off the incuse "southern" side of the depression.  Therefore, I conclude that the mark is a strikethrough. BTW, I enjoy your posts for their informative content and I don't mind the challenges.  But, I'm with [USER=33154]@Mr. Flute[/USER] about the fonts and emojis - they just make it more difficult to understand your post and when it just becomes too much I give up on you.  You also make it too hard to understand who you're replying to by your refusal to use the "quote" function.  I don't have enough time left on this plane to spend it trying to figure out what you're saying.[/QUOTE]
