Those are grease filled dies. A struck through is where a piece of some kind of debris gets on the planchet or die such as grease, cobweb, etc. and it strikes it into coin.

Agree with what Hog said, your coins are filled dies, either with grease or debris not strike throughs.   Still cool finds just the wrong terminology.

Where I came from, we call that "shmutz".

Ok so what makes a grease filled die any different then struck through grease🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m thinking it’s a 93 because I know I had a 90’s penny set aside with the same partially missing date. Here’s a picture of the other penny with ERTY and 199 ghost 3. Also some doubling going on around the top of Lincoln’s head and face. And here’s a picture of the reverse you asked for.

While I have this thread going I may as well post some of my other penny finds. I understand some here have seen better, know of better or have better then what I’m showing. I don’t care to buy coins in holders and find joy in finding my own gems and building a collection that way. For now what I have is good enough for me. So here’s one of the cleanest 1983 Lincoln pennies I’ve come across. Half a bow tie and front left I guess you’d say jacket opening🤷🏼‍♂️ missing. Also a dimple in his check and a die clash in his collar which is the statue of Lincoln on the reverse.

Here’s another pic with a different angle. Besides the 2 being filled in you can see wether it was grease or some other foreign material was in the way because it show way outside just the number 2.
