I have about 40 of theses, its a strike through error . Heres the link to the article http://www.numismaticnews.net/articl...ause-explained

If it's a struck-through error, I would assume that the coarse, irregular texture is incuse.

Some is, and some isn't ( incuse ) Heres a progression of that lead to the images posted (5)

I'm not entirely convinced this is a progressive struck-through error. Much of it looks raised to me, suggesting it might be a very unusual form of die deterioration.

I have about 40 of them, Ken also has one too . If you want to see the 5 posted, let me know, I can send them your way ..

All the aberrations are all incuse and migrate slowly over the coins in question. It's without question a strike through series. While die deterioration is rather dynamic, it's not as dynamic as the movement of the debris on this coin suggests. Also, DD would be raised in many areas. That's not the case here. It's best to see the actual coins.

Thanks for clarifying, Ken. It's often difficult to distinguish raised from incuse blemishes from photos alone.

You are right Mike. If all I saw was the images I would have disagreed with strike through. Thought about you today as I was walking through a gravel field today that had been bull dozed up into a large hill to create a wetland area around it. I picked up a number of fossils but nothing fantastic; just the run of the mill stuff.

I haven't been fossils hunting since I was a kid, never found anything really interesting, so I took up fishing .. I will never forget the first fish I caught, it was a catfish .. I was fishing with my parents and grand-parents on the lake up north in Michigan where my Aunt & Uncle lived . That fish was so ugly I through down my poll and ran up the hill crying as everyone was laughing at me, except for my grand-mother she was the best ... Yes I still love going fishing too ...

I have your five specimens. Just as everyone else concluded, this is a progressive struck-thru error.

Thanks Mike, You wouldn't happen to know where I can get them all slab in the same slab, or at least 4 of them in one slab, to show the progression of the struck-thur error ?

NGC has multi-coin slabs, but I don't know how many dollars one would hold.

I'll have to call them Mike, back when I found them I tried PCGS they use to put 4 ( Presidential Dollar Proofs ) in one slab, but they said they stop doing it . Thanks again Mike ..
