By happenstance, I showed it to coin dealer while trying to illustrate/explain a defect on a west point quarter. He called the coin pictured below "significant" and that it had likely been hit by a die cap. He also claimed to be a former ANACs grader. What do you think? Is this a strike thru or something else?

JoeVegas444 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 6:17 pm In terms of a close up, this is the best I can do right now. The dealer had also said the circular nature of the copper coloring in the center of the coin, and around the rim, was an indication the die cap was involved. Obvious I have no idea...

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 8:59 pm Well it was struck through some oil on the die, thus preventing the nice BU finish from happening. Sometimes you have some grit in the mixture that alters the surface and sometimes a drink, perhaps water? But on the dies, it will prevent a nice strike that we usually like to see. This one is not a premium coin. More of a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
