Found this super awesome error, but I can't figure out what it is? Also is the big Thing at the top of the Obverse a grease strike? Help Please! Thanks in advance!

The reverse shows a Lamination while the obverse most likely shows a Struck Through Grease error. Although, we'll need to know the weight to fully confirm the possible Struck Through.

The weight of the coin is 2.9. That'd be a cool error pair!

There is an issue at the bottom of the reverse. I can't tell if it is a split before strike or damage. If split it might explain the area on the obverse.

I'm not experienced with this stuff, so I'm just thinking it's damage and a LAM. Again, I'm not too experienced so I'm just taking a guess.

Since the weight is off, it was probably rolled on thin stock or something like that. Definitely a great find! A keeper!

The line across the coin looks like a ridge.
To my way of thinking, that would be due to a die crack.

Makes for a coin with two interesting errors !

Thanks. I'm pretty happy to find this, mostly because what ever it is it's my first rim to rim.

QuarterHoarder27, your Tapered Planchet is only 0.1 grams off of mine that I found earlier this year. Mine weighs 2.8 grams. Check it out. http://goccf.com/t/337327

That's a lucky find. I'm getting my first penny box next week I believe so I'm hoping to find something great.

One more question- would this be considered a type of split die? Still looking for my first one of those.

QuarterHoarder27, I believe that is a Lamination error, so it wouldn't be a Die Crack or a Split Die error.
