1995 1c Possible strike through?

#1 Unread post by claudewill1 »

3 letters of liberty are barely visible, there is no evidence of anything being done to the coin post mint which would make them go away. I personally don't know that much about errors. I'm primarily wondering incase I ever come across any others in the future.

Thank you

This type of error is called a struck through grease filled die (or just "filled die") error. Sometimes, the grease can be combined with dirt and other impurities to form a hard compound. When it gets stuck between the coin die and the planchet, it will become even harder under the pressure of the striking chamber.

From your images here, this appears to be fairly common "Die Plugging"

I agree this is a grease filled die but damaged can happen in all forms and any size without molesting any other part of the coin.
