interesting.

 

Wow. That's cool looking. :bigeyes:

 

That's pretty awesome, probably the coolest struck thru i've ever seen.

I always though the USSR was screwing around with their money in the late 80's.

 

Thats neat, congrats

 

A struck through would be incuse. Yours looks raised so it's some kind of damage to the die.

 

That does look like a screw!!!
That's awesome!

 

Rockdude, you are correct. I am guilty of sloppy terminology. The die must have been damaged by a screw, so there might be more of these out there.

 

Drill bit....?

 

Possible. Whatever it was, it was small. The coin is about the size of a U.S. dime.
