    I found these three coins in some CWR yesterday. I am not 100% sure what to think of them so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    1) I believe this coin is a struck through die cap, or possibly struck through grease. If it is one of these or if it is something else please feel free to let me know.

    2) To me it looks like someone used some pliers to make an imprint of another coin into this one. Would you agree or do you think it is something else?

    3) I assumed this was PMD as soon as I saw it, but wanted to post it because I have not seen damage like this before where the sides seemed to be pulled/scraped back. Also, the parts near the edges that are pulled back all have the same triangular design on both the obverse and reverse. Lastly, the way the coin appears pinched at the top seems odd to me as well. Any thoughts?

    Thank you all for your help.

    1 looks like a nice struck through grease on the obverse. The second coin looks like PMD IMO.
    Keep up the hunt!

    Thanks for the feedback non cents. Do you think the third is pmd as well?

    I would say yes to PMD on 3rd as well.

    Thanks dutchman, what kind of premium do struck through grease coins bring? I have very little experience with them, but it is my understanding it all depends on the buyer, similar to toned coins.
