Consecutive strike through errors??

I just got some error coins back from PCGS, and I was admiring this one (bought it in 2014).

Then, I added to my PCGS Collectors Showcase set of Canadian nickel dollar errors and in the process of putting it in proper chronological order, I noticed that my other major strike through error was not only the same year, but almost identical (bought it in 2011).

There has to be a relationship between these two error strikes, the coincidence is far to unlikely to be random...

Same employee signature?

 

That's pretty amazing. They are both the same but the question is Struck-Thru what? Maybe a piece of cloth or some material caught on the die on that exact spot? This could remain a mystery.

 

strange, and very interesting

They are two different strikethrough's. Note the depression above the "N" of CANADA.

Chris, could it have evolved, as the item being 'struck through' was flattening out??

 

Seems too cute to be a coincidence. I'm minded of a slice of sheet metal stuck to the die, and there are probably more out there like yours.

 

It's a "sticker" and it repeated until it dislodged. A little grease in the right place and a piece of cloth and that's all it takes.

 

Chris,

Any die markers that would indicate the same pair?
