    It does look like a die clash, however, you are right, the dies would have to have been in medal alignment for that to happen... I do not have an answer other than that... Maybe Fred W. will chime in here... Cheers, RickO

    Looks like a struck through that repeated because the foreign substance (probably grease) was firmly stuck to the obverse die.
    When I worked for Harlan Berk we used to buy a full roll of each year's fractional gold eagles at the start of the year, One year one of the rolls had the same blankety-blank strike through of every blankety-blank coin!
