I know. Something is hosed-up on my end. Stby...
SBA struck-through.
Yes, @JBK
over 46 years. where have you been all my life?
Thanks again @JBK !! 👍 👍
I just hope I'm right that it's a struck-through and not some Dremel project. 😆
looks good to me.
You and me both! 🤣 🤣
I also tried tagging some of the key player error guys but that didn't work either. 🤷♂️

Generically speaking, yes, a strike-through, and a nice one.
But what was struck through? The shape is similar to the shape of the borders of the coin. i want to say that it was struck through an off-center detatched clad layer, or something like that. Something about it makes me think that it wasn't a detatched clad layer. Maybe something similar?
I agree with what Jonathanb said - it’s a nice struck through, and although the shape seems like it might have been through a detached unstruck clad layer, those I have seen have a much more defined circular shape – this one is circular, but it’s not as distinct as a clad shell.
It is not struck through grease in my opinion. Very nice role find – congratulations
Now that's a sweet error!
Broadly speaking, I would have no problem calling it an indent. But thru what, I'm not certain. Planchet-like, clearly. But going thru the Heritage archives for SBA indents, and any struck-thru clad layers, suggests that the object was thicker than a clad layer, but thinner than a normal planchet. So... (And, for the record since I'm sure others have thought to the obvious implication, I don't think we can say that it was indented by a quarter planchet (tho that is a possibility)).

Anyone else have any ideas? I assume it's slab-worthy, but does anyone have any ideas about value?
Nice find!
Not me. I'm happy with the feedback. I'll post the results when it comes back from grading.
One thing I thought of today is perhaps an off-center die cap? It'd get thin after a few strikes, and perhaps a coint struck thru it may look thusly. But who knows?

This is why I lurk....great find!
.
If it is a struck through wouldn't it still be the correct weight?
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Yes, agree.
nice find - I am curious about the roll found in - was it a circulated roll from a bank or original roll that has sat unopened for over 45 years?
Super cool find! Congrats!!

Pretty impressive.
Just as a possibility, perhaps a cladding layer split off of another planchet prior to strike and ended up getting struck into this piece.
Great find! Congrats 👏

No, I don't think this coin is mint start. It's beat-up! It was a circulated bank roll. I think it was Loomis.
If I ask/request ANACS to put the weight on the label, will they?
Not sure, you can ask. They're pretty responsive. They've honored special requests for me.
But, the error on the label will tell the story. If something was split off this coin I would think they'd note it.
Probably. Ask and see.
Thanks gents!
First of all, nice strike through!!
Typically, we only note the weight on the label if it is directly affected by the error. For example, clips, off-metal, wrong denomination stock, rolled thick/thin planchets, etc. Being a strike thru, the weight is likely to be normal as no metal is missing.
There is a subset of collectors who weigh all of their coins and want the ones with slight variances in weight certified with the weight on the label, and we won't do that.
Call customer service and see if you can get the weight on the label as we might be able to handle it as a custom label.
Great! Thanks @cmerlo1
