I sent this coin in for regular grading and I guess it was struck through grease.
I didn't even know it had an error on it until my submission was upgraded. This is my first example.
What exactly am I looking at here?
That weird scratchy patch looking thing near L in Liberty?
I thought struck through grease looked different than this. Like, big swaths of design elements missing or something.
Are these types of errors desirable on WLH?
Thank you in advance.

Can we see the entire slab?

That could be struck through grease or grit. Don’t forget that with each impression
there gets to be less grease on the coin until it disappears completely. Yours may have
been getting to that point where there was little grease left.
Really? Less grease on the coin until it disappears completely? Is that how it works?

Sure.
Thanks @Azurescens
I didn't notice this in the original picture.
I was always kind of under the impression that a term "Struck Through Grease" was or could be a generic term. I believe there could be other types of debris struck into coins that might resemble grease.

what's the brown on the obverse?
If that was a more valuable coin, I may give it another try.
The coin itself looks a lot better than a 62, IMHOP.

Not for me - pass. Don’t want crummy stuff on my coins.
