CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.

    1958 D FRANKLIN HALF WITH A STRUCK THROUGH ON THE BOTTOM BELL LINES?

    I am looking at a very nice 1958 D Franklin Half. I recently sent the coin in for CAC approval (got it) and when I got the coin back I was looking at the bell lines. I see what appears to be a struck though about the midline of the right lower bell lines. I am guessing struck through grease. Shame the bell lines look full other than that. Thoughts or comments?

    Hard to tell from your images. I tried to look at the True View images and am still not convinced it is struck through grease. When you get a struck through grease coin you will usually see the chatter marks that were originally on the planchet. The area on your coin looks smooth in the images. I would say it is struck through cellophane or similar thin plastic scrap. Cool coin, I like it.

      Hello Sumdunce, Thanks for the comment. The anomaly is definitely smooth all around. It may be a sliver of plastic as you indicated. Thanks again.
