picked this up today.. a neat progression of strike throughs

reverse

sweet - a much harder variation of the going going gone sets with off-centers - very cool indeed

Very neat set.

Real nice set.

ther is one more coin that didn't fit into the set..it goes between the last one and the one before

THat is pretty cool. Don't remember ever seeing a set like that all in one place.

I think that someone got really lucky going through a big bag and that's where this set came from

LDM, can you explain these? I understand a strike through is when something gets between the die and the planchet, but what would cause the strike on these to get progressively worse? Build up of grease?

Or maybe they get progressively better? Smooshing more and more greese out of the way each strike?

Thanks for any explanation,

-Bobby

that is a good question... I would think that this would occour from a large amount of grese ending up on the dies and then being slowly squished out over more and more strikes... I can't see it happening and getting worse just because the pressure is just too much to keep anything on the dies for long unless it becomes stuck like a metal fragment
