<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1493019, member: 7957"]The coin is plated and then struck so the WE was not there to be plated. And it is not a scrape. You are correct. The zinc would show if it were a scrape. What you have is a strike through. Something covered the die as the coins was struck. Most likely grease, but it might also be a sliver of metal (piece of plating?). It is not particularly valuable, but an error collector might be interested in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
