Does anyone have an idea on what's up with this coin?   |

Or debris. Whatever you want to call it.

Think I see a line across the neck, under chin of whatever it is...aah! Glue I'd bet, coin was glued on to promotional card or sumting?  |

I don't know Crazyb0, it would have had to have been a strong glue. |

I'm pretty sure it's been Struck Through Grease by the looks of it. It's in a unsual area though. Weird area for that to happen. Errers and Varietys.

I agree it looks very similar to Struck Through Grease with debris in the middle, but don't understand the sharp edges. And yes, a very strange area for it, all around a void in the die. Edited by CoinMasters

My first thought was glue as well but, why didn't it affect the bust and why would the obverse have been glued? It does look like it was struck through something that was only on the die surface (coin fields) somehow.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

EandV, I think you called it from the beginning, a Struck Through Grease with Debris. I have re-examined the coin and determined the grease was in the void also. Pretty much all but the corner of the neck that Crazyb0 mentioned. Thanks much to all, nice to solve this one.  |

CoinMasters has it correct. The grease/oil/water with some ground debris caused the texture. If the ground debris wasn't there then it would just be smooth. It was a small amount that did not push down into the die. Just on the fields.

Yes. Always nice to get em solved. Most do get solved unless the OP disappears. We done good, and Coop's verification is bankable.
