Message:: [QUOTE="Hello, post: 24711655, member: 149560"]That looks like either a "strike through error", or some kind of "double strike" on your coin. There are two parallel lines that make a clear shape.  One going to the "S" mint mark, and one slightly above it. Those do not look like scratches to me.  The two lines look raised. A scratch would not split the top serif of the "S" ... but some kind of strike through (Strike Thru) error, or double strike, would do it. Looks like you have a coin that has some considerable value, depending on what the rest of your coin looks like. Anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a couple of thousands of dollars. Search terms "Strike Through Coin Error" and "Double Strike Coin Error". A double strike is not the same thing as a double die. It's when the coin is struck once, and then struck again with the same die, but rotated, or, struck a second time with the die for a different coin.[/QUOTE]
