coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/03/2018 03:13 am Which is it? While this looks like a Struck Through Grease something disqualifies it as not being a grease strike. What is that? Look at the rim area? Do you see a normal rim? A normal rim would be what you see on a Struck Through Grease issue. But note, it is dished on that area. So it was struck through a thinning capped die. That is why the rim is not normal. Edited by coop 06/03/2018 08:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
