    This appears to have been struck on a deeply scratched / defective planchet, rather than struck through something.

    @GoldenEgg Definitely not a scratch or defective planchet. The discoloration is most likely from a fiber with grease on it. Not that it matters but the coin is uncirculated

    I believe that the sideways "Y" on this Chain Cent is a struck through. Given the quality of the copper that the early mint rolled out at this time, it could also be a planchet defect.

    The mark on the other side of the "Y" is a die break. It's the marker of a known die state. I have thought of the long mark through the portrait is a scratch, but it too could be a planchet rolling problem.

    Yes, the reverse of this coin is my avatar.

    A little help. Would this be considered a struck thru?

    Looks more like a weak strike.

    @jtlee321 - Is this what these things look like under the surface? What is that stuff? It looks like drywall. It doesn't look like silver.

    What you are seeing is not really under the surface, it's the surface texture of the object that was caught between the die and the planchet as the coin was struck. So in this case, the metal did not "flow" against the metal face of the die to create the typical luster found in the field. I don't know exactly what was struck thru, but my guess is a small piece of wood or something similar.

    Sorry, not the best pictures but you get the idea. Two separate coins with similar "but not exact" grease filled strikes. It looks the grease (or whatever it was) was squirted outward from the strike.
