Message:: [QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 6878886, member: 4920"]This is no lam. Neither is it a struckthrough. Nor, for that matter, is it "feeder finger scrapes." This is major die erosion, in all probability accentuated by work on the die, principally, die polishing. I found the thread you're referencing, [USER=103066]@Evan Saltis[/USER]. It's "Strikethrough Progression on 2021 Shield Cent's," started by [USER=109938]@CaptainMac[/USER], March 5th. How's that for "genealogical" research (j/k)? What's utterly fascinating about it is it dives into the progression of the die erosion via selected examples out of rolls of 2021 cents from the same $25 box. Here's the link: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/strikethrough-progression-on-2021-shield-cents.376536/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/strikethrough-progression-on-2021-shield-cents.376536/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/strikethrough-progression-on-2021-shield-cents.376536/</a>. We're focusing on the erosion coming off the neck and making its way to the date. If we look at the thread [USER=109938]@CaptainMac[/USER] started, we see it in its primal stage, wherein it's but a blip. If we go to the end of that thread, we see where we left it off. We should figure this out. Here are the pictures, respectively, of this example, and those, hopefully to help us along... [ATTACH=full]1272690[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1272691[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
