Mark Stilson Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Appears to be a struck thru grease? Or a bad dipping job. Maybe ugly coin time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 struck through is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I don't know if quality control is really down at Philadephia mint, but I picked up a couple rolls of nickels at the bank and got a bunch of cuds, cracks, strike thru, and weak strikes from them.

Mark Stilson Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Here is the reverse also struck thru. Harder to tell but it shows up in the water and land. Then add the bottom of "US" in pluribus is connected by a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 So that's why some of my nickels look like that (have a few that look almost exactly like the top). Wasn't sure what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 yep.... those coins were struck through grease that wasn't too full of metal shavings and other stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
