1976S 25C Bicentennial strike thru

[Shleppodella1]

Here's a quarter with a "J" wire strike thru or something and the mintmark is filled and smushy lookin'.

that looks familiar. have you posted it before?

mm image is blurry. looks like a depth of field issue focal point issue. your closeup would be good enough becuase i can clearly see everything BUT the mm.

It is familiar you're are correct! I ONLY posted it again with this one BECAUSE it's pretty much the same kind of strike thru design on BOTH coins of a ? style from a wire. What are the odds.

[occnumis2021]

just linking the other thread for posterity, plus i wanna see if/what i said previously to see how full of #*#&* i may have appeared to be.

I LITERALLY FELL OVER after reading that. Nice.
I did a little more research and it could also be caused from rim fragmented dust build up which the penny looks more with the little dots but the quarter looks to "be full" more like a wire or something with substance. I do hope that I'm not "reading" to much into it?

The "J" could also be a sliver of reeding that dropped from the collar as well.
Is it retained? Is it still on the coin ?
If it is raised, then more than likely retained.
If it is extremely thin, and almost clear, it could be a stuck through Fiber.

It looks to be incused so therefore it's not retained correct?

It can be incused, and if there is not anything in the area, that absolutely fine. It means it was probably sruck through fiber or other debris.
