So I hit a coin show this morning and one of my dealers has some sealed proof sets for me.

At a whopping bid -3%, got a dozen sealed sets, well you know Russ will keep PMing me all day until I open them! So out of the 64s I find a couple nice Kennedy Halves and one that I have been looking for FOREVER! A 1964 Proof Kennedy Struck Thru a thread!!! Woo Hoo... It's not much, but proof struck thrus are not easy to find!

    I figure Russ is testing us. I'd say "No" on the AH designations, but what do I know? That's why I bought one of Russ'!

    Marty, when you buy '64 proof sets, you should look for AHs, they're worth a little moreimage

    Hello. If you would, can you elaborate on the "struck through the thread" coin. I received a similiar JFK in one of my 2006 proof sets and was wondering what that peculiar marking was. HM

    When the mint wiped the dies with a cloth a thread stayed on the die. When the coin was struck the imprint of the thread was transfered to the coin. They aren't worth more than a regular coin but I always found them a very cool errors. There are also coin that have been struck through wire, when they used a wire brush on the dies a piece would stay and get struck into the coin.

    A thread?

    A thread?

    A STINKING THREAD??

    I prefer my proofs struck thru miniature ray guns or other alien artifacts:

    I saw a coin at a show that was struck thru a wire and the wire was still in the coin! I should have bought that one when I had the chance!

    Is this a strike-through?

    Do people who collect accented hairs qualify as coin collectors? image
