Struck through Gold

Does anyone have or collect struck-through gold? Would love to see them and I have a few questions.
1. Are they just as common as the clad/silver denominations?
2. Do they command a premium or does the already high price of gold cut that out?
3. Are only extreme examples like the one shown desirable?

Example (not my coin).

I appreciate any info on the subject. Feel free to share!

    I think any mint error in gold is not common.

    I was at a coin show and meet one collector who was buying any gold eagls he could find with strike thru's. He had several to show me. One had a long thread. The coins will always sell for bullion yet the "errors" might have added some value to someone. Thedealers don't care unless the error is more major. He had a platinum Eagle too with several lint marks. Apparently, these are not rare - just uncommon.

    I wonder how much weight was lost in gold due to the filled die?

    Zero. The gold comes from the planchet, not the die.
