I found this West Point quarter with a large gash in the back. It looks like the design was stamped over the gash because I can see the image lines clearly in the mark. Is it a mint error? It is hard to see in the image but the mark is across the right side.

    @BullyHunter69....Welcome aboard....Nice find... it is called a 'struck through'... because something got between the planchet and the die at striking and left that impression. Sometimes, the material is retained, but usually not. Cheers, RickO

    Yup, strike thru, the sheer pressure vaporized many things. Nice find. The hunt continues. Peace Roy
