Struck Thru Breast :D

    I can think of one that would not be offensive so much as in poor taste. (Medical procedure related to a disease). :/

  • PerryHallPerryHall Posts: 46,896 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Looks closer to the arm pit. Just say "struck through on breast". Any idea what it is that's struck through?

    Sure beats "massive gunshot wound". :#

    BTW - no more close-ups of Silver Eagles. You are bursting my bubble - I always assumed Lady Liberty was more of a looker. ;)

    No not on this one.

    I really prefer to "know" what the struck thru is but that is not possible many times with this type of error.

  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,930 ✭✭✭✭✭

    With that shiny area, I think it's struck thru
    a small piece of clear thin plastic, like Saran Wrap.

    The WP Mint covers the Dies with this thin plastic
    sheeting, to protect it from dust and contaminates.

    On the rare occasion, you'll find a silver or gold eagle
    with the actual piece of plastic, with the struck design
    on it, on the last coin struck from that sequence where
    the plastic was on the Die, caused the struck thru's on
    numerous coins, and then from the heat and pressure,
    it hardens a bit, and falls off onto the coin....

    I've handled many gold and silver eagles with and without
    the plastic - that's my guess for your coin, based on the photos.

    Fred, I do agree.

    Here is a really aggressive example of this .......

  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,930 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That's not the clear 'saran wrap' I was talking about.

    I've see this 'white' stuff (paper-ish?) too - difference source, imo.

    I believe it is plastic. I heard they wrap the dies in them.

    Possible the mint uses two types of Plastic?

    I have other SAE's with the same struck thru material altho much smaller.

    I will defer to your knowledge tho ...

  • BryceMBryceM Posts: 11,863 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Why not struck-through left breast?

    That's what it is, and if that offends you, you better stay inside and turn off the lights.

    I've seen the 'saran wrap' clear plastic on the Die Trays
    at the West Point Mint.

    I didn't see that 'whitish' material anywhere in the Die Room -
    yes, it's possible that they now cover the Die Trays in a different
    material - but I don't think so - they wanted to see what denomination
    the Dies were in these mobil Die Trays, so covering them up would
    prevent that.

    Obviously, it's -something- that is in the WP Mint......but what it is, I don't
    know.

    That was another thought that I had, but I figured it would take too long to explain the reference, but you got it done in very few words . :D

    Put it in a nice case, put together some nice talking points, and donate it for B/ Cancer survivor fund raising auction or as a gift to a survivor.

    I lost both my sisters at young ages to cancers of the female types. Neither were ever able to have children. It tore my mother apart.

    Paper could be onion skin for a wrapping type procedure, and the hand was early in its delivery.
    I have no idea.
