| Ike Dollar w/ struck through error
This new purchase just arrived. It is my only Ike with struck through error. The slab says “Struck Through Grease” and MS63. Works for me. The strike through affects the left side of the obverse. The reverse is unaffected. For those that are interested, here is a basic description of this error type- A strike through occurs when “something” is between the planchet & the die during the strike. Normally, the “something” falls away or is otherwise not stuck to the coin after the strike. With this coin, it is not possible to identify what was between the planchet & the die. In this case, the TPG says “struck through grease” which could be any form of mint gunk or debris. If the struck through item was identifiable, then it might be described appropriately such as “struck through cloth” or “struck through staple” etc. There are other types of struck through errors where a blank planchet or previously struck coin is caught between the planchet and the die. These would be called indent errors & brockage errors respectively. If you have any coins with struck through errors please post them. I have a Morgan in my collection that I’ll photograph & post tonight.  Thanks for letting me share. Very best regards, collect89
