Talk about well positioned!
Is this considered an example of "strike through", a term I see a lot but wasn't sure if it literally meant it had to be struck through the entire coin (so as to create a hole, for example).
Is this likely caused by a piece of wire or something?
Given the somewhat unusual position, it's a great conversation piece. Would this be considered a desirable example to a "strike through" collector?
Thanks

It does indeed look like a strike through. The terminology can be confusing, but the word 'strike through' means the coin with it's anomaly came about because it was struck through the grease, threads, wire etc. It does not mean it was struck completely through the coin.
