<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 25488181, member: 4920&quot;]A struck through, whatever the obstruction between the die and planchet, is a struck through. There&#039;s the error. It&#039;s in the obstruction, itself, defacing the coin. There&#039;s no such obstruction in a weak strike. In a weak strike, die and planchet are unobstucted. The p.s.i. is just low and the detail didn&#039;t come across for it. That&#039;s most often just a consequence the p.s.i. the Mint happened to have used. It was the standard p.s.i. at that Mint. Other times, the p.s.i. isn&#039;t maintained, and it fluctuates, some. There&#039;s no &quot;error.&quot; The coin is fine. The devices are weak, because it was weakly struck. And in those cases, sometimes it&#039;s noted on the slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
