[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3475491, member: 112"]Well if nothing else you've got me wondering if I am - drinking that is ! :D In any event, given the turn of events, I've moved this back to Coin Chat because, well, you've now changed the question you're asking. I'm assuming this is what you really want to know about ? [ATTACH=full]924523[/ATTACH] I first considered a strikethrough, but it looks to me like whatever that is, it is raised on the coin and not incuse. Sometimes your eyes can play tricks on you and make incuse look raised and raised look incuse, but if you look at the lower right corner of the "strap" on the shoulder it's pretty easy to see that it is raised. So that would rule out a strikethrough. That means that the die itself was damaged by a strikethrough, I'm gonna guess it was a feeder finger that got bent during one or more strikes, and when a subsequent coin was struck - this is the result, a raised strap like image superimposed on the coin. Now that doesn't explain why the extra cent was added to the set instead of the regular token, but I don't think that was what prompted your post anyway. As I said above, I assume what you really wanted to know was what that was and how it happened. Anyway, what I've said is my best guess.[/QUOTE]
