<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 22914, member: 1101&quot;]It might just be something I am missing, but this scenario does not make sense to me, since the date is within the &quot;struck through&quot; area.&nbsp; If there was some foreign material on the coin, the date would be struck on the material, and once it fell away, the area where the date was would all be indented.&nbsp; How could the date be there but the area all around it be indented due to a piece of debris on the coin?&nbsp; The debris that &quot;dented&quot; the area around the date would have &quot;dented&quot; the date area itself as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>In order for the date to be struck up, the die had to be applying pressue directly to the date area, which means the die had to come into contact with the planchet.&nbsp; Even if it were a thin piece of sheet metal as the strike-through, for example, and some of the design was imparted to the underyling planchet, I still don&#039;t think this coin passes the test, since the date is sharp and distinct.&nbsp; For example, when you have a laminated panchet, sometimes you can see the details, but they are fuzzy and all indistinct relative to each other.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin otherwise looks like a struck through to me, I must admit, but I just am not able to visualize the process whereby some foreign material blocked the field in the date are without blocking the date itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
