    Struck-through die cap errors, generally have wrinkled, but smooth surfaces. Your example appears to be rough/pitted. On your example, you can also see how the rims were folded over onto the fields under repeated hits or pressure. I am not aware of a step in the minting process that would cause this effect.

    In most cases, a struck-through die cap error will be mint state or nearly so, with much luster preserved. Obviously, yours is not. It would also be extremely unlikely to find such strike-throughs on both faces. I'm not saying that it couldn't happen, but it would be unlikely.

    Looks like that coin sat in acid for a while. I see no striking error.

    Looks just like a dryer coin I found not to long ago.

    That coin has been in acid or acidic soil, it is PMD.... those pits remind me of ultrasonic cleaning results when a piece is left in too long... Cheers, RickO
