CoinCbass Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 12/22/2014 5:42 pm I think I have a Struck Through Grease error. Little more missing than many of the struck through's I have found, but not as much as some of them - lol. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCbass Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 12/22/2014 8:12 pm Yes. Not the biggest I ever found, but up there. Found going through 50$ bags off coin counter Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/22/2014 8:17 pm What is the weight and thickness of your coin? If normal, then it is a struck through. But the weakness of the design in that pattern makes me wonder if it is a thinned planchet? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCbass Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 12/24/2014 12:37 pm Checked thickness - it looks like it was a thin planchet in both of the areas of the coin where the weakness meets the edge of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/24/2014 1:09 pm I thought so with the weakness on the design of that coin. The thickness was not normal so the deeper devices were not fully formed. Not a struck through error. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCbass Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 12/24/2014 1:58 pm Yeah - it looks like its thin through that entire weak spot. Thanks for the ID. General Question to error collectors - what would be more desirable in this case - struck through or thin planchet? Either way the coin is an error and is interesting, but I am just trying to gauge if one or the other situation would be better - the curiosity is getting to me. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/24/2014 3:58 pm Personally, I find it more interesting as a planchet error because that makes it much less common than a coin Struck Through Grease. I would guess that it will weigh something less than 2.5 grams judging by the weakness, at least 20% light. It is also worth noting that your photos do a good job of displaying the luster in the fields, that coin is no less than AU. Report this Post to the Staff
