[QUOTE="davidh, post: 490431, member: 15062"]x I agree that an Indent is when a planchet partially obscures another planchet being struck ( [url]http://minterrornews.com/priceguideindent.html[/url] ) but I assert that the OP's coin was not this type, it was not struck through another planchet but through something thin and pliable enough for the hammer die to make it's impression through the covering material. Here's one struck through cloth/ [IMG]http://www.geocities.com/israelerrorcoins/misc/lira-cloth.gif[/IMG] and one struck through grease/ [IMG]http://www.geocities.com/israelerrorcoins/misc/100sheq-thru.gif[/IMG] Note the uneven terminus of the mis-struck area, similar to the OP's, also that the design is partially obscured but transferred to the coin by the die. From the link I referenced above, "When the hammer die strikes this combination, the upper blank will be forced into the lower blank, creating a depression which is shaped similar to the upper blank. " What type of planchet (blank) would form the outline on the OP's coin? In one post you say a strike through simply "means that "something" came between the dies and the planchet during the strike"; in you other post you say "it leaves an foriegn object into the the coin."
