Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 07/24/2008 4:13 pm I'd say strike through oil or grease, I've got several Sth Dakota ones with evidence of similar strike through. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 07/24/2008 7:18 pm Thanks for the responses. I'm still not sure what this is. Here are new pictures taken from the side Is this Struck Through Grease or lamination? The metal appears to be scrapped beginning on the back of the bird and then continuing through the "State Of Idaho" on the Reverse plus between the two Latin words and also under the bird's lower beak. The Obverse is also scrapped out in front of the portrait of Washington.

The difference you see in surface texture is something I see alot. I think this is caused by grease on the dies like everyone above stated. I see this alot on newer nickels as I roll search.
