2021 Bluenose Struck Through 18 coin sequence?

Post by Enyaw » Fri Apr 08, 2022 10:42 am

I am new to this hobby but I wanted to put this out there and get some thoughts. I recently went through a sealed box of 2021 Bluenose dimes and kept seeing a similar strike through error. There seems to be a sequence starting with more "grease" with little definition of the C in cents to the point where the grease seems to be gone around the C but still filling the die making the C "weak". Eventually the bottom of the C comes back to "normal" but the top is still "weak". Is this plausible, or am I dreaming this up! Thanks.

That is perfectly normal. It started as a Partial Grease Filled Die and with each impression, there
Is less grease in the die until it has all been worked out and it gets back to normal strikes.
Not often you see a complete progression all at once.
With your permission, I will keep a copy of your photo for my files.

Thanks for your thoughts coinguy, permission granted. They were in different rolls in the box but when I took photos of each one and put it all together it seemed to make sense.
There was also this struck through error in the same box, it is in the same area as the others but through the rigging. Not sure if it fits in the sequence or just a "coin"cidence (last bit of grease fell out beside the C??)!
