TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 02:19 am A " Struck Through Grease" found in change when it was new. I thought the reverse was scraped until I noticed the missing beads. Then saw beads were also missing on the obverse and the missing details of the Queen. Can anyone explain the strange ridges running diagonally on both sides ? They aren't scratches as most are raised. Edited by TerryT 04/12/2023 02:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 03:53 am I think a very late (worn) die state, combined with (possibly?) Struck Through Grease or oil. Despite the fine striations, I do not think that the dies have been modified in any additional way; the coin itself may? have suffered from abrasion. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 09:43 am Could it have been from a thin planchet or one that was not entirely flat? Not enough metal? Report this Post to the Staff
denny7000 Pillar of the Community Canada 1018 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 12:43 pm Yes I was going to suggest a thin planchette for the weak strike and missing areas, an accurate weight would be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 9:13 pm weak strike IMO if weight is correct. The ridges are rolling lines still on the blank. Edited by nickelsguy 04/12/2023 9:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 12:16 am The weight is a normal 2.09 gms. I just noticed while weighing it that the rim is very weakly struck so that may be the answer. (edit; just saw the rolling lines comment ) Here's the feeble rim.
