Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 09/21/2007 6:58 pm I am not sure what I am seeing on the surface on this Adams coin. Usually I can tell if it's a die obstruction or something else, but the way this looks, it looks as something was peeled off it. It came out of a fresh roll of denver coins so it has not been tampered with before. Is it just some die obstruction or is there some lamination thing going on? Thanks. Pardon the pics but that's the best I can do, but I am improving! Image: lam1.jpg 76.22 KB Image: lam2.jpg 88.83 KB Image: lam3.jpg 86.27 KB Image: lam4.jpg 85.72 KB Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 09/22/2007 12:26 am You are seeing the effect on the surface of a coin that was Struck Through Grease. It is not a lamination error. That uneven, "fuzzy" look to the surface is the major sign used to distinguish a Struck Through Grease error. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 09/22/2007 12:36 am Nickels, dimes, and quarters made in the last (at least) ten years are abundant with Struck Through Grease errors. What's the explanation for this? Edited by thingee 09/22/2007 12:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

Far as I'm concerned they are an eye sore. If I were to collect the series in as high grade as possible, I would specifically avoid coins with this kind of surface problem.
