Hi All. Please see above and below sword horizon on reverse. I think I see a lamination error but who knows....I have been wrong before  Also, please see the face - there is a raised area to the right. Not sure what that might be. I found 2 of these in a roll. Thank you for imparting all your wisdom upon me!    Edited by Cons

I do not see a de-lam. Others can pronounce better then me on the strides you see.

Well then grab a desk and have a seat.
To me it looks like a grease strike. Grease with grit or dirt in it..

That's funny Dearborn, that was my first thought. And next to face, any opinion? Thank you.

Looks like a struck through to me for sure.
And the face is unusual. May we get a closer photo?

Looks like a rough Struck Through Grease and grit if I'm reading this image correctly. If it were die scratches it would all be raised, none incuse. If it were something on the die with grit, the area would be raised and incuse. I don't think it is Feeder Finger Damage. at all of it would be raised above the fields. |

my guess, there's a clash on the mouth and nose area still left there on the reverse, and those are abrasions most likely from removing clash in that area, something like that. Also might of run through his arm/sleeve too looks like some abrasions there also. there's many like that around on the internet, here's one on ebay, I hate the description but very similar to yours. it's not the same though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1544929719...264870804704then again maybe it is the same and just a later version as the abrasions start getting struck out of the die face. I dunno. I'm thinking the spot in front of his mount and nose is the lip/nose transition from the obverse. it's out of my skill set but I'm sure someone knows how to do overlays. I'd think where the abrasions are might be the eye area which would have transferred strongly in a clash and need to be removed. Should be raised if abrasions, but might be a photo illusion in what I'm seeing in these pictures. I'm not a professional, the area in front of his face looks like a clash to me, the rest, I don't know. just guessing. Edited by Big-Kingdom

Is it posable to have been a defective planchet before strike ?

Hi All. Thank you for your help. I am posting the best close ups I can get. Sorry if they are not great but I tried my best. I do not think it is the same as the ebay coin in the right light it looks similar but the close up not so much.     |

This is a field-restricted struck-through error. A gritty paste was deposited on the field portion of the die by the feeder/ejector.
