I will add that lots of times when there is a die anomaly on a large portion of coins from a particular mint and year it will often be master die doubling. (1972 Lincoln cents for example.)
Since you are finding this only on the Philly coins, this might be the case with your coin.
Master die doubling doesn't really add any value to a coin, but it can make a coin more interesting as an educational piece. |

Here's a PCGS list of mule coins.
Washington Quarter struck with two 25-cent eagle reverse dies.
Roosevelt Dime struck with two 10-cent reverse dies.
(2000-P) Sacagawea Dollar reverse die paired with a 50 State Quarter obverse (unquestionably the most famous of the U.S. mules).
1993-D Lincoln Cent struck with dime reverse die.
(1995) Roosevelt Dime struck with dime reverse and a 1995 Lincoln Cent obverse.
2014-D Sacagawea Dollar obverse paired with a Presidential Dollar reverse (a recent discovery coin).
2001-D Lincoln Cent obverse paired with a Roosevelt Dime reverse (new discovery).
2000-P Jefferson Nickel struck with two obverse Jefferson Nickel dies.

Fascinating! Thank you! I hope it will be okay if I use your photos,...
Yes, of course you are welcome to use them anytime. I'm glad to help the hobby.
If it's ok, I'd like to send you a link to an album I created for all the images of this coin. You are welcome to view them, use them, or toss them. Let me know if it's ok.
Thanks. |

... the Reverse has a Main strike through, I noticed it's raised in appearance...
A strikethrough is incuse.
My perception gets "inverted" sometimes where an incuse area on a coin will look raised, but I'm confident these areas are incuse.
In general, a strikethrough is foreign matter that has gotten between one of the dies and the planchet. That will leave an incuse (recessed) impression of the object.
There is the chance this was damage to the planchet before the strike. This is still a nice error, whatever it turns out to be. |

I agree your grandfather is smiling. It looks like you will have a lot of fun as you go through your grandfathers coin store inventory.
I was with MrT and others that wondered whether they were Small or Large date coins. Your pic of the roll explains why you couldn't know.
Because of my experiences, your last images of the roll with the ends taped up makes me think this roll had been examined and then taped up to keep the ends from falling open.
Have fun and let us know how your journey unfolds.
