    I think this is a strike through grease, but I don't have a lot experience when it comes to determining a strike through from wear. It weighs 5.04 grams. Thank you for your help.

    His face looks smooshed.
    I call it circulation smooshiness.

    With limited wear on the hair, the face may well have been struck through grease
    The amount of circulation wear makes it impossible to know at this point
    No big premium either way

    That coin has seen some wear and with the face being so flat it’s possible that it was struck through grease but with the west and damage I doubt we’ll ever know.

    Thanks everyone. One reason I was skeptical about it being a strike through is that none of the letters are weak. And if I ever run across this kind of damage again I now know the professional term for it,

    Jefferson's face was flattened outside the Mint. Whether by abrasion or crushing, I cannot tell.
