<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2767518, member: 19165&quot;]I think what I&#039;m trying to ask (and was implying without saying): planchets at the mint tend to be somewhat rough (from tumbling, handling, etc), with a large amount of contact marks. If you get a blank planchet, or a planchet struck sufficiently off center, you&#039;ll see that. When we see a &quot;struck through grease&quot; coin, it tends to have a rough appearance with a lot of tickmarks. Would a &quot;struck through water&quot; coin have the same rough appearance? </p><p><br /></p><p>My suspicion is that yes, it would. From what you say, that the water struck coins had the same texture as the original planchet, leads me to believe that generally, &quot;struck through anything&quot; will have roughly the same appearance and will thus be virtually indistinguishable to the collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
