mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2752 Posts	Posted 01/05/2024 9:21 pm Petespockets asks, "Now I have a question about the coins struck directly before Mikes 1993 Memorial cent example. With that grease filling all of the dies devices, could a previously struck coin resemble a late brockage or would it be more of a uniface?" Answer: Cents struck before this layer of grease fell off the obverse die would appear as a heavy grease strike. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5901 Posts	Posted 01/06/2024 09:22 am Thanks Mike for adding that. (Man, there wouldn't have been much detail left on the Greaser with so much detail on Mikes example.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2752 Posts	Posted 01/06/2024 10:36 am It's possible for a thin layer of grease to conform to the die's recesses. That would allow a full, but indistinct raised image to appear on the coin. Since a good deal of the raised reverse design bled though the dropped obverse filling on my specimen, I have to conclude that the layer of grease was relatively thin.
