    A bit of Die Deterioration and Struck Through Grease issue..
    Explanation - overuse of the Die and The Die that strikes the blank Planchet gets debris into the incused areas and the letters don't form as they should.

    I agree with the "struck through grease" assessment.

    Not really worth any premium, probably, but fun.

    Nah, no big value. Maybe a buck or two, if you find somebody who's interested enough.

    Cool find, though.

    PSD - Post Strike Damage
    It took a hit. Not a Mint Error

    I have a 78 quarter and it's messed up on both sides. A toddler can tell its from the mint. Just want some advise about it.
