    Okay I purchased this via auction I am looking at this coin right now because I've have time to do so and I realized then she is layered through the indentation doesn't look like it was cut so I believe is the strike through error.. your opinion would appreciate it and should I send it in..

    What did the auction say it was?
    was there any authentication of it ?

    also is that glue near the bottom over the LAR .. can't really see.

    If you look at your picture and think this through ...
    a strike through is when
    (a) you have a die
    (b) you have an object such as a WIRE on the die
    (c) the planchet sandwiches the wire between itself and the die.
    THUS the wire in this case which looks fairly wide would get pushed INTO the G and T.
    And the G & T, based upon the width of the anomaly, should NOT be formed in that area.

    But the G & T (especially the lower part) are formed in that area. So how can it be a strikethrough then?
    I'd have to conclude it's just damage too.

    I gotta disagree with other comments, it looks like it was struck through a piece of string to me. The way you can tell for sure, in hand as you can't with pics, is to look closely at the line. If it's shaped like a half a tube, U shaped, it's almost certainly struck through string. If it's V shaped, it isn't.

    And struck through string isn't really common but it happens, it's happened for hundreds of years. How and why ? Because when a die gets dirty with grease, debris, whatever, the mint employee wipes the die off with a rag, and sometimes a piece of string from the rag gets left behind, stuck to the die. That simple but effective method has been in use for as long as coins have been being minted. As an example, take a look at this coin. It has exactly the same characteristics that quarter does. Only on this one there was more than just 1 piece of string.

    The photos are too blurry for me. Sharper images would help the diagnostic.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    It definitely looks struck through a string or wire if you ask me (I'd need better pics to determine which). That does not have the appearance of damage.

    To me, it looks like you got the real deal.

    I can't tell if the curvature of the subject matches the curvature of the quarter. If it does, and also appears on the reverse, it may be an incomplete clip??

    And. That coin you showed @GDJMSP. Do you have a picture of the rim view of that 1749. Is that damage or is that made like that?
