coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 6:27 pm I think I finally may have found my first Struck Through Grease. This caribou is missing its eye, ear, jaw line, chest fur and even the bottom H is gone entirely along with the beads(5-6 o clock). What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 6:32 pm the spot at the bottom of the chest is unusually pitted like a waviness from grease to me. Thanks for your reply Silverwolf! Report this Post to the Staff
coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 6:35 pm Also before the date there's another patch of it.. hard to capture with the lighting but its only certain areas of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 6:45 pm There does seam to be a fair bit of wear on the high points but it's hard to tell all in all from the pics. I'd toss you one if I didn't give my other example away. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 11/18/2021 07:34 am I can definitely see the missing details it's just hard to see if it's been scraped or if it's a partial Grease Filled Die. Try taking a picture with just natural daylight. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 11/18/2021 10:29 am Quote: looks like wear to me.. Remember, these are multi-ply plated coins. This kind of 'wear' would expose the copper plating and steel. It's a legit strike through error. That said, with that level of circulation wear, it's more of a learning/conversation piece, with little value above face. Still, finds from the wild are always fun!

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 11/18/2021 10:40 am Very true SPP, I forgot to take that into account. These modern coins show the copper even after minor scratching so this deep would definitely be showing copper if it was PMD. Very fun find and good eye coinman91. Report this Post to the Staff
coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 11/18/2021 10:47 am Thanks SPP & Wrekkdd. I was hoping SPP would confirm for me. I will keep it then as I was intending to sell. Report this Post to the Staff
