Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 8:43 pm Ok yep seeing as it likely is lighter than what it left the mint as, my vote is for wear over a massive Struck Through Grease error. Let's see what the others say when they weigh in though.

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 8:53 pm I have seen other coins with this kind of look to it but I think I remember them having more detail in the devices. When I say look I mean the pitting on the coin. Thanks Spence and Petespockets55 Report this Post to the Staff
