Found this in the hunt and it seems very interesting. Can anyone help with the name of the condition and guesstimated value seen in other coins?  *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. ***

 to CCF. My guess at the date is 1973-D. It looks like a major Struck Through Grease or a press set up piece. It also looks like a struck through debris,behind Lincolns' head. Give it a bit and some pros will chime in. John1

Thank you much...I'm looking forward to feedback etc.. I find it very interesting that the bottom of the Monument looks folded.

Looks like some type of Struck Through error.

I sure hope we can get to the bottom of what this actually is.

Great question Halo, I should have done that. I will have this answer later tonight  . Question, what weight would the make it more valuable that the other?

Looks like a thinned planchet issue, but on the obverse? Weight would be helpful.

Okay gang...the weight of the coin is 1.8 grams.

I'll point to the reverse first as it shows evidence the planchet was most likely under weight at the time of strike.
Circulation has taken more of a toll on the obverse. Either a split planchet before strike or rolled thin planchet with a large lamination after strike. I lean towards the first one.
The two impressions behind the bust, I'd like to get verification that's what they are. Impressions or raised? I see impressions one minute and raised the next, especially when I zoom in on them.
If impressions, then strike through or another possibility is rolling indentions pre-strike. Thanks, Doug.

I sent Mike Diamond a note on this one.

This would appear to be a planchet derived from rolled-thin stock. That accounts for the weak strike. The obverse features a complex struck-through error consisting of a coarse substance (probably a type of "grease") plus two discrete pieces of debris. The increased aggregate thickness due to the presence of the the obstructing material accounts for the stronger strike in that part of the coin.
