Can this be a "wire" Strike Through?

Hi guys,
I may have put this cent up here before?
After further examining, can it be some kind of "wire" struck? At first, I always thought it was just a Strike Through?
Thanks guys! 😊

    Full obverse please.

    Anything on the edge where the line passes the rim?

    No idea what "just a Strike Through" means.

    Wouldn't a wire have a pretty much consistent diameter?

    Great pictures @JoeyCoins .... It appears to be raised above the surface of the cent. Cheers, RickO

    Cool, Notta staple scratch. Nice score 🙂

    Thank you for the extra pictures.

    My first thought was that something might have gotten rolled into the planchet strip before the blank was cut out, but then the bottom of the groove would not have been copper plated, so that rules that out.

    It is odd how the indentation is relatively large and regular for some length, but then suddenly gets very thin. I am wondering if perhaps a previous coin showed what the Mint calls "finning" and which collectors call a "wire rim" that got sheared off of that coin and struck into this one, but that might or might not explain how the indentation goes from wide to very thin.

    Need to think on it some more.

    Is this kind of error worth anything are just interesting to look at?

  • joeykoinsjoeykoins Posts: 16,480 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Probably, the latter?
