Thank You To The Members Of The CCF! Ten Years A Member!

Well said.

And thank you.

You are one of the members whose posts help me learn stuff that I did not know, or even inquire about.

Congrats! And thank you for your contributions to CCF. You have chimed in on a lot of my posts that has helped me to grow in the hobby over the past several years

Looks more like a gunk item with grease fiber and grit in it. Shape like disolved fiber (cardboard) with grit (sand and metal shavings) grease (Keeping the gunk into a glob) but firm enough to fill the devices and create a blockage on the field. Like stuff that is klingon on moving machinery. You get an 'A' for the day.


Here I was wondering when I will hit 10 years. Looked it up and I guess it passed me by silently. (Registered 08/03/2007)

Congratulations on the mile stone and thank you for not only your great posts, but your warm welcome to new members! I, too, was a lurker for years and it's people like you that make this such a great a forum and make people like me want to come out of lurkdome to be a part of it!

Congrats on the ten year milestone. You've provided a lot of insight and great error examples since I've been here.

I'm with Coop on it being a glob of grease. The surface of the depression seems too stippled to be a struck through and the base of the E (STATES) is visible.

Thanks for the kind replies! I always try to give an accurate opinion of what I think has happen on a coin, and give an explanation as to why I feel that way. If I have an example of the same type of error, variety or damage I will add an image, but I've questioned myself on that recently as I don't want to seem like I'm trying to hijack a post.

I'm working on a contest for this milestone, but I still have no idea of what it will be or when I might post it. Please bear with me.

As for the coin, I too am almost positive it's Struck Through Grease. The grease that was on the die seems to have been filled of metal shavings and that's what left the interesting fiber-like pattern in the "thumbprint" shaped anomaly. @T-BOP The small area at the base of the left wheat stalk seems to be another struck through area, with a small line that might be a small metal filing that was struck through as well. None of the areas have a wave on the outside edge, so none would seem to be contact damage.
