CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 08/09/2023 9:48 pm I found this CRH and at first glance I thought post mint damage on the obverse until I flipped it over and noticed right down the middle there was a line that caught my attention and noticed this also is an over greased die. Let me know what you all think of this one. Edited by CaptJeffWorthFL 08/09/2023 11:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 08/10/2023 3:28 pm That's about 10% under weight. IMO not struck thru grease. I suspect some of the lamination on the obverse was gone before the coin was struck or upset. Interesting coin.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 08/15/2023 12:21 pm Struck on a defective planchet, and a lamination error. Amazing how much that circulated, before someone spotted the errors.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 08/15/2023 12:49 pm I concur with not Struck Through Grease. With that much missing material from the planchet on the obverse, there probably wasn't enough copper and pressure to get a good strike on the word Cent. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
