Trainwreck New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/14/2020 8:25 pm I received this coin from a change machine the other day. To me, it looks as though it did not get a good strike when minted. I'm curious about this coin: how it happened, does it happen often, and, of course, any value? Thanks, Robert Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19164 Posts	Posted 06/14/2020 9:00 pm Would appear to be a very good example of being ' Struck Through Grease'. Essentially, value would depend on how much of the coin's detail is obscured. Relative state of the coin is important too--badly nicked and dinged vs BU. https://www.NGCcoin.com/news/articl...ck-throughs/ Edited by ijn1944 06/14/2020 9:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
