I've seen state quarters with this effect. I think like the 2005 Kansas, with the bison on it..... struck through grease or oil is the most common and it's enough but I've seen much worse. Struck with a grease filled die less common to happen, along this issue there can also occur "dropped letters or numbers" that get struck through. struck through foreign object, like fabric, hair, a machine part, ect. even less common. The presses have moving parts of metal, they get lubrication, metal is being pressed at high pressures and moving, it gets grease also, sometimes they get too much grease, sometimes it's a little too much, sometimes it's a lot too much, sometimes it builds up with grit and nobody notices and the pressure and the grease and grit fills spots on the die and the coin isn't fully struck like in the case of the "in god we rust" quarter, also 2005 Kansas quarter.....[/QUOTE]
