A lot of the machinery at the mint is wrapped in plastic for protection including the dies when they are new. Somtimes not all the plastic is removed and it is still stuck on the die. If they don't get it all off then this is what happens. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 10/06/2007 9:14 pm "Why is this considered struck through and not a lamination error?" Because what you see is the impression of an object that got between the die and the planchet as the coin was struck. A lamination error would be caused by a poorly made planchet and a layer of metal would be peeling or lifted from the surface of the coin. With a lamination error, you wouldn't expect to see such fine outlines to the affected area and you would expect the surface of the affected area to be a little rougher. I hope this helps, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
