Combination of Struck Through Grease and Circulation Wear.

 

These Struck Through Grease can be fun. Somewhere I have a beautiful unc. 200-D lincoln cent. Pretty rare to have a 1800 yr old copper clad in full red! I wonder if they meant it to be AD

 

I would suggest looking through a lot of early-mid 80's dimes. It shouldn't take long to identify a pattern...

 

The I is a bit filled also

 

I have a dime like that

 

Nice! Did you weigh it to see if the planchet was too thick

 

No... I through it back out in circulation. It's nothing really too keep..

 

The hubs of the Roosevelt Dime were worn out by the mid-1980's, so the design is blurry and seems to run into the rim. This was corrected a few years later. They aren't really weakly struck, just struck from poorly made dies. You see the same thing in Lincoln Cents before they made a new hub in 1969, and for Jefferson Nickels in 1971. The 1971 Kennedy Half was struck from dies from a new hub in 1971 too.

 

I made this post on October 12th lol how was it found again?? That is long gone.

 

oops sorry for that.....

 

I posted this one last night in Errors. Took quite the razzing but enjoyed every comment. Beats the heck out of late night TV!
