Looks like a struck thru but need a sharper image.
@Insider2
Wow you got good eye. I can't make out anything.
I look at coins under magnification. There is a discolored line that can be almost anything; however, most strike thrus are the color of a fresh planchet inside. Not the disturbance connected to the line at the nose. That's why it looks like a struck thru. We'll know for sure with a sharp image.
I will try to take the picture again.
I can see in three spots, dark grey metal underneath with a x10 magnifying glass type thing.
@Insider2
I believe your right, it looks like a struck through.
Better image. If the sides are turned up, it may be a scratch.
The dark spots appear to be areas where the plating was breached.
The Red arrow shows something that could be a scratch or dent. The yellow arrows show the original line that was in question. The green arrows show the dark grey areas I spoke of.
Looks like he has a runny nose. Dose he have a cold or coronavirus.
Maybe this could help also.
Oh nice, easier to see. Yea, it may be a variety of the corona, its affected him in 3 places!
Planchet flaw the zinc will be threw soon.
It appears to be zinc rot due to breach of the copper plating.... Cheers, RickO
