Looks like it is struck through a glob of grease or grit.
As you say, if it was damage, it would also have affected the rim

I don't know much about these kinds of errors let's see if some others chime in, most of my posts like this tend to go back and forth a bit, it could be damage but just very precise lol. It's a pretty nice struck through if it is truly one. Not a lot of the devices are effected so idk if there is much of a premium if this is struck through some gritty grease. It's sad I'll never know the year, but at least with the new portrait and mint mark it gives me a range for the year.

Yes, just a "well placed" hit/damage that makes the coin look curious to our eyes.

Lol I knew this would be another back and forth, unfortunately I don't have my scope here at work should I post some different angles? I imagine if this was a hit (much more of a gouge then a hit) it would have a lot more dispersed metal or a huge part of it would be raised but I'm not seeing that, more like a coin ice cream scooper precisely scooped out some of the metal

At least you know it has to be somewhere between 2006 and 2009.

Ya, won't matter much if it's just a damaged coin though lol.

From what I can see with the size of it, lack of dispersed metal, and the fact that it curves and no where effect the rim I have to say error, or purposely mutilated.

So far we are 1 vote for error 1 vote for damage.

It's struck thru grease the 0 would be gouged out if gouged and no one would fake a dime, it just not worth the effort.

@john100, I never thought about that, though I suppose if a tool was sharp enough it could do this, but as you said why would someone try and fake it, could be someone playing with a really sharp tool, but also seems unlikely.
2 for struck through 1 against. Hmmm I'm still on the fence about it lol.

I'd say well-placed damage

Is there a specific defining feature for Struck Through Grease? Or can anyone tell me what specifically makes you think it's not a struck through, mayb you see displaced metal that I don't or something else? |

Common sense seems to say that " Struck Through Grease" would not have sharply defined edges, nor not too deep |

Looks like " Struck Through Grease" to me. If the field doesn't show rise metal flow, it's genuine error. Closer and sharp pictures could confirm. "Grease" is often a generic term to describe a strike through a foreign matter. And dirty grease can be hard enough to generate sharp edge. See this link from SPP-Ottawa for additional details. http://goccf.com/t/372300&SearchTerms=struck,gre ASE |

@okiecoiner, I don't think I'd use common sense when talking about these kinds of errors l, If a Grease Filled Die can precisely shorten devices without blurring the devices then it is possible for struck through to look like many different things and different levels of depth I'm sure is possible as well. In my experience the defining factor with struck through is no dispersed metal(which I'm not seeing) also split opinions from well educated numismatics. I'm not saying you are wrong at all though. Is it possible the planchette was damaged like this before the strike? |
