Not an error, just a worn die.
Well I am a newbie and I appreciate the info. Thanks
http://www.cointalk.com/t33849/ post #11 Mike Diamond refers to a 'struck through heavy grease'.
Ok now I'm confussed. Here's what I read on this site; http://coins.ha.com/c/ref/questions.zx Grease Struck Through Occasionally, coins...
Struck through, grease was the culprit. It can take out part or all of the detail depending on the amount of debris on the die.
It's die fatigue alright and they call that condition 'ghosting'. http://www.littlemistakes.com/WorldErrors/not/not.htm

Yep, I'd say a lamination error. http://www.cointalk.com/t56406/
I should think before I write anything. Those are clash marks under the chin.
The first give away that the die is deteriorating is the die cracks, the rest could be a result of the deteriorating die. Nothing I see to get...
I would have to agree with you that it is a struck through. I've seen many like those two of yours.
You are in the correct section. So what did you find the answer to be?
Just what I was going to say. But also mis-aligned to the same end of coin.
Machine Doubling Damage, that's what I see.
I think that with all the ones they had to choose from they chose the wrong one. IMHO
New us cent reverse.
I'd call it 'die deterioration' a common occurrence on the Quarter shown especially on your mint mark.
I'd say MDD since the nose seems not to have increased in size.
Over polishing of the die will cause the gap you see.
Alright, thanks everyone.
