The reason I don't think it was wire is that it does not seem as deep as it is wide. A wire would presumably be fully struck down into the coin and not be compressed, unless it was heavily plastic coated.
Errors must not have been collected as much back then or it would not have seen so much use. Today I suspect a coin like that would be scarfed right up.

That's a nice error!
I would havta think it's worth more than a "regular" 20-S.
I'd like to know who "Debris" is, though.

Yes I wish they would have left some detail when they graded it
Is there value? Heck yeah!
Nice struck thru.
I like that one a lot.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
It is a nice struck through error.
Thank you
Next question: what was it struck through?
My vote is for a thread from a mop. Just a wild guess, of course.
Given the pressure involved, I'm gonna say wire. Nice error in a slab. Peace Roy

Great error! I’d say the debris was a piece of wire of some sort.
That is a cool struck through...and has seen a lot of commerce. Probably a wire of some sort...Cheers, RickO
I THINK YOUR RIGHT ABOUT IT PROBABLY BEING A WIRE OF SOME SORT
The reason I don't think it was wire is that it does not seem as deep as it is wide. A wire would presumably be fully struck down into the coin and not be compressed, unless it was heavily plastic coated.
But who knows.

That's a long scar face.
I appreciate all the feedback

Food for thought is that in 1920 wire was often solid gauge rather than braided or multi strand. IMO. Peace Roy
