Major error eye candy #6: Reeding struck through coin

jonathanbjonathanb Posts: 4,175 ✭✭✭✭✭
There is a type of error known as "struck through reeding", where the reeding comes off one coin and gets struck into another. It's not super common, but it's not particularly noteworthy either. This is what it looks like:

This is the opposite error. Just the reeding. No coin. It's amazing that this survived. Just as importantly, this is die struck. It's reeding from a dime, and you can see the O from ONE near the top right, along with various bits of leaves and stuff next to it.

    This has been a very fun time seeing Jonathan and ErrorsonCoins going back and forth with these incredible errors. I really enjoy them.

    Thanks for sharing.

    How does the mint bezel (reeding only) come to be?

    I can't be the only one wondering.

    Extreme finning (wire rim) that shears off a struck coin. Back in the late 60's I found a quarter with a similar reeding strike-through.

    Could it happen if a struck reeded-edged coin somehow found its way back in collar and was struck again, shearing off the reeding?

    Thank you. I wasn't questioning the validity of the error by the way, just curious how it happened.

    I think I have a dime like that, struck through reeding, I bought when I was a kid for a couple bucks because I thought it was neat. As I got older, I thought it might be fake as I couldn't figure out how the reeding would've been struck into the coin like this.
