heavymetal Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 06/23/2020 7:25 pm I pulled this from the same bu roll as my 1921 VAM 41b. Is this a Struck Through Grease error? It has me puzzled. The devices have a somewhat polished look and the fields have a matte finish. I thought it was cleaned at first glance but that's not the case. These pics really dont do it justice as it looks really cool in hand. Any help is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

heavymetal Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 06/23/2020 9:49 pm Hey thanks for the replies. I was under the impression a polished coin would strip mint luster. It's still present on this one. Maybe these pics will help more. Report this Post to the Staff
suipakpaikungfu Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 06/24/2020 4:29 pm I'd say AU. 1900-P's are known for flat strikes, and yours has it. Report this Post to the Staff
heavymetal Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 06/24/2020 8:55 pm @suipakpaikungfu- Thanks for the flat strike reference. Could a flat strike allow the planchet of the flat strike areas to show more giving the appearance of a cleaned coin? I assure you this coin has not been cleaned and is uncirculated. You can get a cool reverse proof look to this on the obverse at certain angles. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/24/2020 9:19 pm I'll revise to AU-55. This coin is a good example of why trying to evaluate a high-grade coin from just a few images is basically a crapshoot. Report this Post to the Staff
