<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 1193973, member: 8360&quot;]I used to think that this was struck through grease but there were just too many with the exact issue in the same place. About 90% of all the &quot;struck through grease&#039; errors that I saw from the 80&#039;s and 90&#039;s were in this location. I realised that the area that is effected is opposite Lincoln&#039;s shoulder, the highest relief area on the obverse. I believe this is from a &quot;weak strike&quot;, that is, the metal flows into the die at the shoulder and there isn&#039;t enough metal left to fill the reverse die in that area. The fact that this doesn&#039;t seem to be as common on the Lincolns from the 2000&#039;s when the profile was reduced seems to support this theory. What do others think?</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
