itzwert Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 12:41 am Struck through error, Struck Through Grease resulting in weak punch, or a weak punch because the die wasn't high enough while it punched it didn't have the extra space between punches to provide a strong punch. It's more than likely a Struck Through Grease error Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19210 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 07:22 am There may be a struck-through-grease issue. I'm also seeing Die Deterioration which can contribute to the look of the features shown. Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54283 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 10:18 am My free opinion: nothing on this coin is a "mint error". Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here) See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 10:34 am This forum is for learning, as I learn I read what proper terms mean so when I talk to others I can understand them and carry on a good conversation. when I read terms like "Meditated Radial Smear'" or "Struck through error", I get really confused, that is how misinformation hurts people. Someone may use that term for selling coins as errors when it is not an error. Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 10:44 am Also coins are struck not punch. I do not mean to hurt someones feelings but again we are all trying to learn proper terms. Report this Post to the Staff

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 11:54 am I was going to say "reverse Ridge Ring" as a joke, but then I started wondering why you always see ridge rings on Lincoln cents but not on nickels? Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 12:24 pm Looks like damage caused by a machine used to roll coins. Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 1:28 pm interesting coin, don't think I've seen similar from the 1980s, I'd guess a combo of grease and Die Deterioration Report this Post to the Staff
NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 2:10 pm https://www.error-ref.com/grease-me...adial-smear/ proper term, the diagnosis may be off but it's a real term. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10044 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 3:00 pm My first thoughts were PMD and then circulated to wear it down some. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
