🔎 Error: Minor Strike-Thru (Obverse)
A strike-thru error occurs when foreign material (such as grease, lint, or debris) comes between the die and planchet during striking, leaving an impression or area of weakness on the coin’s surface. In this case, the error appears on the obverse (front) of the coin.
Minor strike-thru errors are collectible mint anomalies that add uniqueness and numismatic interest while maintaining the coin’s intrinsic gold value.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design. The reverse displays the original family-of-eagles design by Miley Busiek, depicting a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings.
