Good Evening, everyone. I have been looking through some of the error coins I have found or acquired over the past few years, and am starting to become more interested in defining the actual errors. To me, it looks like either a grease issue, in which case it had to be a whole of grease, or possibly a strike through a die cap? A struck through die cap seems to be more likely since most of the features are present, although very faint. The date is readable, although I apologize I can't seem to take better pictures with my equipment. There seems to be two horizontal lines through the obverse with the area between them being flatter than the top and bottom sections...would that be due to the reverse of the coin stuck on the die being what struck the obverse of this one? Trying to understand, so any explanations you can provide with your answers will help me the most. Thank you very much for your time. Rod
