Reeding struck through

RobertLahti

I don't know how common other denomination reeding is on coin faces. I guess this reeding is large enough to be a quarter. Does anyone know how such force from such angle happens to impact during minting operations by a different denomination?

That is not a 'struck through', and did not happen during minting. It is PMD. Cheers, RickO

You are correct that it is a hit from reeding on another coin. But, this likely happened during a trip through a Coinstar or other money sorter.

I strike through happens during minting and the field would be flat, yours has raised areas. Your coin is not worth much more than a cent, why don't you take a dime/quarter/half and a hammer or rock and tell us how much is needed to make such a mark?

That reminds me of a bottle cap hit, fwiw

not even close.

It does look like a reed hit but it also looks too strait to me to be from a coin. Either way, not a strike thru.

PMD and in no way a minting error.

I think this guy is just getting his terms mixed up and doesn't understand the difference between struck through and a post mint damage reeding hit.

@RobertLahti- Struck throughs occur when a piece of foreign material comes between the die and a planchet during striking. The coin is said to be “struck through” the foreign material, which leaves behind an impression on the coin's surface.
