[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 107847, member: 4350"]Hi Guys, This one is not "roadkill" . It is likely one of two things. It is either struck through grease on both dies. That would cause the details to look like this. OR... It is an adjustment strike or some other form of mint produced "weak strike". One of many causes is a strike that occurs while they are setting up the coin presses and before the pressure is adjusted to the proper amount. (modern presses don't have the prssure adjusted much so there are other causes as well) I lean strongly toward an adjustment strike (weak strike) which is a nice error coin.
