Is this Morgan struck thru on the reverse?

If not what is it?
If it is, does it have any added value?

Yes, it does look like it was struck through wood. Has that ragged look.

Nah, no extra value.

Hmmmm...my wild guess is that it was struck through a woolly caterpillar that had entered the mint in order to get warm. This means the coin was struck in late November, not long before the December Blizzard of '87.

Here is a struck through wood coin. You can still see the sliver in the 0 of 1880.

Is that mark from solder? like it had a pin stock to it??

If I had to guess, I would say lamination that got peeled away.

If you look your coin , your wood sliver sits on top o the date; in mine it was on the planchet BEFORE the coin was struck. Yours can't be a struck through I don't believe.
