Poll Question
The one cool thing about searching mint bags, or boxes of rolls from the Winnipeg presses, is that sometimes you see something... and then you see it again... Here we have three coins from a bag of 1967 5c coins. There is a minor strike-through error on the obverse of all three coins, likely relating to the same 'grease' on the die. But, under close examination, each one is slightly different, as there is progression of the debris on the dies, as tons of forces are applied against it. For fun, I have labelled these A, B, and C - what do you think the striking order is for these three coins? Which one was struck first with debris on the die, and which is the last one (note that bags of coins were fed from multiple presses, so there may be more out there).     Striking order

I'm going the other way, I say B-A-C smallest, but deepest first, then as the coins were struck, the grease or rag moved.

I guess BAC with the most fully formed down to the most spread out.

 When's the reveal? This poll appears to have been open for about four and a half months now. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

There really is no reveal here... because it something I am trying to figure out with other multiple struck-through coins I have from mint bags...
My own opinion is B (deepest), then A, then C (most spread out, and migration to the legend). Thing is, multiple presses were feeding multiple mint bags, so there may be other coins out there that fit in-between these ones...
