The first four coins, including the nickel,
were struck thru late stage die caps, as the
Capt. said.
I'm not sure on the very last Lincoln - that
one could be just struck thru 'grease' or
other foreign matter. Might not be struck
thru a late stage die cap.

Yes all struck thru errors, very cool.
Struck thru what though?
Late state die caps?
Most struck thru late stage die cap, one or two might be grease.
