Struck Thru Error Coins

indentMajor struck thru error coins are very interesting and extremely collectable. There are so many different types of struck thru errors that one could build a whole subset collection around that theme. A struck thru error happens when something gets in between the die and a planchet. When struck, the object gets pressed into the planchet leaving an impression and the pattern of that object on the struck coin.

indentStruck thru error coins can be minor or major, but generally only the larger or unique ones carry a higher value. Some struck thru errors are repeatable when the material sticks to the die. Sometimes the object moves and repeats the same or partial struck thru pattern in a different area on a another coin or coins.

indentSome struck thru errors can look like things or add to the design of the coin. I find these extremely interesting as the design is changed and often unique. Many of these coins have obvious names.

indentThe more common collectible struck thru errors are coins that are struck thru grease, reeding, plastic, cloth, twine, coin fragments, clad layers, die caps, and dropped letters just to name a few. Coins can be struck thru virtual anything so the possibilities are endless. For some single or special issue coins, the only way to get a nice mint error coin is to find an interesting struck thru error. Sometimes a struck thru error can be part of a double or multiple error coin making it even more interesting.

indentStruck thru error coins can also have retained or embedded material contained within the strike thru. Usually the material drops out but sometimes it can be found in the same mint bag as the struck thru error coin.

indentMany coin collectors discount struck thru error coins, but if one researches the phenomenon, you may find this area extremely interesting and collectible.
