SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 05/28/2012 12:16 am Probably oil, not grease. Grease strike-through coins often have a deeper effect, which cause the beads or other devices to be absent. They use oil a fair bit on modern presses, and in some series of coins, you always find the strike-throughs in the same spot.
