Strike through or Die scratch?

Are you certain it's not a hit or damage of some sort?

 

The area is 'raised'. I thought hit/damage before I put a glass on it.........

 

Interesting.... thanks. If the entire anomaly itself is indeed raised, I don't see how it could be a strike through, but from its appearance I can't see the likelihood of a crack being very high. Perhaps some sort of die gouge?

 

Die scratch to my eyes

 

I'm pretty sure that what you have is a scratch

 

Not a scratch.......the bloody thing is 'raised'.

 

And hope to see more of you Ed.

 

Thanks, I have been doing a lot of research on seated quarter die pairing so I haven't been around too much

 

Keep not to the esoteric Ed. It'll drive you mad..........

 

Geeze Ken, after 3 ipa's , one ambien, and four pint glasses of 2% milk, & candy on the side. Looks like an alien emergining from the Zero of the date.

Could you post the obverse of coin so I can attempted to make a more informed opinion ,,, LOL @green18

 

It is a die chip. Shows well in the two of the date. Look, height, colorization all look the same. Size and shape vary but die chips will do that. Ya know what I mean?

 

While there is a raised component to it, the pictures make it look to my eyes like there is also a lowered component to it (something may have pushed the metal).

In hand it may look different, but it looks like PMD to me from these pictures.

 

@green18 I do not remember this at all and still can not give an informed opinion. Odd that the zero of date covers the raised area. Yeah would think if a chip it would of effected the 0 more and it would still not be "clear" as this runs through it.

I will say, if only a touch longer and hit that rim, @tommyc03 I would be calling cud, . Being raised and all. But of course I am wrong more then right.

 

I'll try for some fresh photos in the AM.

 

I can not see that being PMD. It's raised according to Ken.
Other chatter coming off the left of the two, left of the zero, and left of the five.

@Fred Weinberg

 

Here are some more closeups of the area in question. This time, I tipped the edge (top) with some card stock and moved the lights around after each shot.

 

Die scratch

 

I'll go with die scratch as well.

 

Thanks guys. Into a 2x2 to save for the grandchild.........
