<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 490458, member: 1242&quot;]David,</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with your assessment which goes along with my original posting, that it is not an Indented Strike! However, after seeing pictures of the Reverse, I retract my statement, that I believe that it was man-made. As to what the coin was Struck Thru will probably remain a mystery unless it is examined in-hand under a Microscope. In any case, it is not an Indented Strike since any planchet that would have became between the Struck coin and the Hammer Die, would have obliterated all of the details on the Obverse from the original strike and they are not. The Dies strike the planchet with extreme pressure and if and when another planchet comes between the Struck coin and the Hammer Die, the amount of pressure exerted on the two pieces becomes almost two-fold, insuring that any details on the originally Struck coin where the stray planchet overlaps it, will be obliterated!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
