Titles are Important! * Good evening, I hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering what type of error this would be considered if at all for the weak lettering on the reverse. Thank you in advance.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 9:38 pm 50/50 camp on this. Some say a weak strike since the bust is opposite and has trouble filling in details upon strike, other half says a grease filled strike. Very common on stinkin zinkins Edited by Crazyb0 09/27/2018 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/28/2018 01:06 am I'm in the "weak strike" camp on this one. It is just sooooooo common to see on LMCs (especially zinc), I can't imagine Grease Filled Dies being replicated so exactly and with such frequency. I don't see this problem on Shield cents, but that's because the relief has been lowered to the absolute minimum while still being able to decipher a design of some sort.
