Smuncher New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 05/28/2025 9:04 pm Hey everyone. Looking through my 2024's and stumbled upon one coin where there is a large mark on Kennedy's cheek. It's missing the shiny component. And not to be rude but looks like something is hanging on his face and cheek. Pictures enclosed. Is this a grease mark? Or something else? Thx.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95423 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 08:07 am to CCF. it could be a Struck Through Grease as mentioned. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21596 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 09:02 am The reverse should look normal as a struck through will not affect the reverse. Nice progression photos. With each strike there gets to be less grease on the die until it disappears. Report this Post to the Staff

donnie59 Pillar of the Community United States 780 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 09:12 am to the CCF. I agree with those above. It appears to be a Struck Through Grease example, and it's pretty cool you were able to document the progression/regression of the grease. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19139 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 09:12 am Was curious to see the reverse--might eliminate some possibilities. My thinking is, if I was at a coin show and someone walked up to me with this piece and asked me to look at it, within the first 4 or 5 seconds I would turn it over to check the reverse--just a reflex reaction to establish the best context possible. Heck, I'd likely flip it back and forth a few more times. It's what we do. Edited by ijn1944 05/29/2025 09:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

Smuncher New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/21/2025 05:25 am So I sent these 4 coins to PCGS and they are indeed struck through errors with grades of MS 63 - MS 65. Now the question is how. the worth of 4 coins having a progression of a struck through errors. Guidance would be appreciated. Coins are on the their way home. Report this Post to the Staff
