As to whether or not a similar piece has been posted on CCF previously, you could use the search box in the upper left hand corner of your screen.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 11:46 am I was wondering if this could have been some pre-strike damage (separation) to the planchet b/c the area involved looks like it "passes behind" the figure of the man. But zooming on the closeup shows the same mottled appearance on the man's left leg. So it could not have happened before the strike. So I am going with the flow...greaser.

That area of the die is the high point of a die and can get scratched from the feeder fingers without getting into the recessed area of the design (device). Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 1:03 pm I'm thinking this is Feeder Finger Damage that altered that die. Note how alters the devices. It looks like an issue that ever reached the incuse devices on that area, wiping them out on the first couple of devices. The angle looks correct for this. Unless this is not raised. If incuse on the coin, then it might just be debris stuck on your coin. (and still could be related to Feeder Finger Damage?) Just need to see more images at different angles to see what is really going on? Raised or incuse on the affect areas? Edited by coop 02/13/2022 1:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 1:10 pm I wonder if there was a lump of grease on the feeder finger that transfered onto the coin. It would account for why the angle of what looks struck through lines up with the Feeder Finger Damage. Edited by Wrekkdd 02/13/2022 1:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7005 Posts	Posted 02/14/2022 12:21 pm I was under the impression that the coins reverse is now (then) used as the hammer die. Where Feeder Finger Damage would be on the obverse.... Are there any Mint records which answers this? Edited by Greasy Fingers 02/14/2022 12:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Rollhunta Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 02/14/2022 4:34 pm Thanks so much folks, I can't believe I just found another one in the first 12 rolls of a box I just got. Will post shortly. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 02/14/2022 4:53 pm This is a "field-restricted struck-through error" which in this case isn't exactly confined to the field. The feeder/ejector smeared a gritty paste across the die face, possibly scarring the die itself in the process. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/14/2022 6:02 pm I found a cent once that had something similar on it on the 2009 LP2 reverse: Kind of figured out it was a grease issue. The affected areas were incuse with grease on other areas as well. Report this Post to the Staff
