    If it's got full normal reeding, it's a struck thru grease error.

    If the reeding is very weak, it could be a die adjustment strike.


    From what I can see in the scans, it's a struck thru, not a DAS.

    Fred, I believe I have seen these labeled as weakly struck by ANACS.

    Is that a thing?

    Yes, it could simply be a weak strike.....
    ....the reeded edge is the key.

    And, in theory a 'weak strike' is the same
    in many cases as a 'die adjustment strike' -
    some folks don't like the DAS wording.

    Isn't "Kennedy" and "circulation" in the same sentence an oxymoron?
    I love the 3 P's: PB&J, PBR and PCGS.

    I'd lead toward a weak strike, since on both faces the coin appears to retain the planchet's original beveled junction between the apex of the proto-rim and the edge. That said, some grease strikes look amazingly similar.

    << <i>Isn't "Kennedy" and "circulation" in the same sentence an oxymoron? >>

    No.

    Just because they are not regularly seen at the supermarket does not mean that they don't circulate.

    Many gambling casino's still use these to pay 1 dollar Black Jack bets.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I found one of these, looks almost identical to the OP photo. It appears to be more than just a weakly struck die to me.

    I'm glad I wasn't the first one to reply as I would have said PMD. The central (and highest relief) design elements are struck up - I would have expected those of the first casualties of a weak strike,

    That's what I was thinking too, all of the high points have sharp detail and those would have been the deeper parts of the die, meaning it must have been stamped all the way. It's so similar to the first one, that I feel like this might be how the die was made. I did alot of searching and couldn't find any others like it. The one I have is a gem for sure. Almost no bag marks.

    Anyway, if anyone know what type of error this is, or what might have caused it, I would like to know.

    Thanks
