Is This An Example Of A Filled Die?

I could be way off base here in my assumption, so take it with a grain of salt and wait for our experts. But, I thought a Grease Filled Die would just limit or hide details, in essence plug/clog up the design, and not actually "add" substance to the coin. In your pictures, as Jorgy stated, it seems like something is on top of the coin.

thanks for the info,i took a toothpick and was able the rub off the junk alittle. being new to coins just afraid todo anything, I got some much to learn
once again thanks

I believe the proper term for grease filled is "Strike through error." Not Jorgy coin doesn't look sanded to me. The rim is full. If it had been sanded, the rim would have been taken off also. I would like to see an image of Jorgy reverse on his coin to see if it is a normal strike. That would tell more at this time. Often a filled die is refer to a letter/mint mark that the center has broken from the die. It makes the outside of the letter but not the center. Thus a die break not a filled die.

First off, I know 0% about filled dies. So thanks for the additional pictures.

But, the second reverse realllly looks sanded. I think I can even see the direction that it was sanded in.

That helps tremendously! Thanks for the education Jorgy!

Jim1953, Try the emery cloth and see what happens. You will find that the copper disappears and the zinc shows long before the letters/numbers do and no zinc shows on these coins. When a coin is struck through something it leaves an impression of what it was struck through. Most times on coins I have seen where just a letter/number or two are just gone it is from the devices getting plugged with junk so only those letters are affected. When a coin is Struck Through Grease or other substances on the face of the dies or planchet it leaves an impression on the coin where ever the contaminate is. And like I stated in a previous post, these came out of a mint sewn bag that I personally opened so if they were sanded it must be a new process at the mint ;-). Looking at the coins in hand it is obvious they are not sanded but I know the pictures make it look similar to sanding.

Here is a couple of pictures taken with my QX3 at 60x. Top pic is of the reverse where it shows the area by "IBUS" and the "O" of "OF". The bottom picture is of the date area.

You see the lines on current circulation coins that are not sand marks. I thought they were die scratches. But the flow into the deeper parts of the dies. If you open a roll of OBW coins you will find these lines in different directions, not just one like the die scratches on a die. I think this is on the planchet before striking and the lines don't disappear during striking. I've noticed it on Cents especially as that is what I search the most by rolls.
