I have 3 different rolls of Obvious Strike through state quarters. Each Original roll has been transferred to a plastic tube. Estimated Worth?
I'll try to take some good pictures. What I have somewhere in my 5000 pictures on the phone aren't good enough.
Everyone says Strike through. I would like to know what exactly caused them all to look like this, if they are.
Please post a full reverse. What area on the obverse are you saying is struck through? The rough field surfaces look like deterioration from an overused die, a simple explanation since Philadelphia is notorious for this. But I’m not seeing any struck through areas.
There is certainly something that gets in between the planchet and die. You have any additional coins? That to me looks like die deterioration
This is the roll of 2006 North Dakota and the areas of question. Deterioration of the die makes sense. The ruff areas are slightly LOWER than the rest.
Here is the 2005 KANSAS The Obverse has ruff spots. The 2005 date and E PLURIBUS UNUM is weak on the reverse.
Your coin shows die damage from a feeder mechanism. With the advent of the Schuler Press, we began to see examples of feeder-applied struck-through features (resulting from a gritty paste applied to the die face by the feeder/ejector), periodically between 2000 and 2018 when the feeder mechanism was a Pusher style, and much more abundantly after 2018 with a Dial Feeder Mechanism. I have the first of a series of 4 articles about Feeder Mechanism Die Damage Patterns at this link: https://coinweek.com/feeder-mechanisms-and-die-damage-patterns-1896-1945/
@paddyman98 thanks for the tag! @rte I will add your coin to my Census and if I use your photos for educational purposes, I will give you credit. Nice example!
