Hi all, Just a starter "coin" of this week's Plunder.
I think this is my first Oil Struck 20Ct piece(2008)Platypus?
Hope you like it. Cheer's jpl..
PS, Please let me know if I am wrong in my hypothesis of a Grease strike as it is only my 2nd?

Yeah it looks like it's struck through grease/oil to me.
I can't think of any other explanation anyway.

Coin blanks are supposed to be cleaned. How this could end up like this, and this badly, is a very interesting scenario.

YoshiRules,
The grease is used to help lubricate the dies. Sometimes grease leaks from the working areas into the production parts of the die.
