Thanks for the info and new work update Mike!
If I had encountered the term "trans-strike" in this day and age, I would have assumed it referred to something entirely different.

Nice article giving me better understanding of the mint process and associated issues that can arise. I look forward to reading more articles in the future.

Trans-strike damage A new term for me too, and odd that all four known examples are on quarters of different years. It seems like you are speculating that it might be due to the specific mint set-up for quarters: Quote:
All four coins were struck by a high-speed Schuler press using an inverted die setup (reverse die as hammer die). Does this mean that only quarters (or even only some quarters) are struck in this way? And no other denomination? Fascinating! "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
