Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 08/13/2014 3:12 pm I have seen hundreds of grease strike-through's before but none to this extent. I'm guessing that is what this is, but just in case it is something else (like a die adjustment strike) I thought I should post it. The rims are very pronounced and high, all obverse devices are affected and on the reverse the designer's initials are weak. All opinions are appreciated. Thanks!

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 08/13/2014 4:20 pm Sudz and John, could you guys explain how a, "grease strike-through" actually happens. Lets help me and other newbies learn. Why the grease? Why would a mint worker apply too much? Are these cents from the first stamping of the coin? Then they would not happen again if the problem was fixed I do have Coops CD let me review. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/13/2014 9:27 pm During use of the die, something may have touched the die. Grease from machinery, from a cloth used to clean a die or from grease on the machinists hands. But it gets on the die and fills deeper parts of the die preventing some devices to not appear.
