mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 2:59 pm While it could have been Struck Through Grease, its sharp margins suggests that it was struck through a floating encrustation. That's basically a flake of "grease" that separated from some part of the press. Floating encrustations are most easily diagnosed when they appear on a second strike and not the first, and when both strikes were delivered by the same die pair. Error coin writer and researcher.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 11:38 pm The impressions of floating encrustations are incredibly common on Indian multi-strikes. Evidently their presses are filthy and constantly shedding flakes of compacted gunk. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
