It's deep enough that some of the underlying zinc is visible. No damage to the reverse opposite the incuse area on the obv. 2.48 grams I just noticed the fourth image might be good for a mouthwash ad. Enjoy and thanks for taking a look. ps. I found another puzzler (1999P) that I found in the roll right after I pulled this one. I'll post up over the Thanksgiving Holiday to get some input.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3324 Posts	Posted 11/22/2023 2:22 pm I have a 2017 eerily similar to this. I would like to know what happened, too. Edit: Reading back, I see that the man himself (MikeD) put the seal of approval on the gritty grease theory offered up by others. Thanks!

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5774 Posts	Posted 11/22/2023 10:21 pm Thanks everyone for the great comments. Struck through gritty grease it is. That 2017 sure is eerily similar to this one. But Mikes explanation of it probably coming from the feeder finger on this one would make it seem likely to happen from time to time.
