Since most of the detail present seems to be at the center, i.e. closest to the areas with the highest relief, then I would be inclined to agree with ziggy9 and say it is an adjustment strike. Not sure of the value but I bet it is worth more than a grease struck-through  Here is a linky for background info http://www.coinworld.com/news/061807/BW_0618.aspEdited by biokemist6

after looking at it awhile, it looks like a 1999 but cant tell if there is a mint mark or not.

Are "die trials" let go into circulation?

Can't be a die trial strike because of the edge rim formed with the line near the rim. I have one I always thought was a die trial strike till Mike Diamond pointed out what I had missed. The setup process makes the rim, the edge of the die makes the step down from the rim. Just a Grease Filled Die. |

bummer.... thanks coop, I know I've read some on Grease Filled Dies and it said there were dollars involved in premium, is this a situation were this is a few dollars or is this a little more because of both side involved? Edited by killians76

Struck through obstructed dies...probably grease. Specimens this dramatic are worth some premium value - a few dollars.

 Ah yes, now I remember the rims are not fully struck up on an adjustment strike, thanks coop. Oh well, it is still a very nice struck-through  |
