Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 11:49 am To me, that looks like it might actually be a struck-through die cap error. Much better coin than a Greaser! Dave Report this Post to the Staff

bournepiper Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 3:50 pm Now I'm wondering if the coin I put on earlier is a struck through die cap Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 3:58 pm The second one is Struck Through Grease. Notice the sharp squared off rim on the second one where the rim on the first coin has a rounded effect next to the rim from the die cap being wrapped around the shank of the die.

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 5:05 pm Great find! It's a very nice example of the error! Quote: The second one is Struck Through Grease. Notice the sharp squared off rim on the second one where the rim on the first coin has a rounded effect next to the rim from the die cap being wrapped around the shank of the die. This is a nice guideline. Do some searches for capped dies and some others for grease strikes to look at pictures and familiarize yourself with the difference. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15446 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 8:35 pm My opinions ... Coin 1 is indeed an obverse late-stage die cap strike ... diagnostic include the rounded rims, overall strike weakness and corresponding sharp reverse strike. Coin 2 is a grease filled obverse strike ... Both are nice coins ... Thanks for sharing. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
