Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 10:23 am Is that a weak strike or Greaser? I think weak strike...IMO Its just my opinion I'mnot an expert. If its a Grease Filled Die (which it might be) you would think we would have seen a few more of them around by now. Edited by Alexer 03/13/2015 11:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

Copper Penny Connection Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 11:04 am more then a Greaser. Looks like a die adjustment strike. I would value it more in the range of $50-$100 Report this Post to the Staff
ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 11:20 am Wow, I have never heard of a die adjustment strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2520 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 12:40 pm "Die adjustment strike" means it's a trial piece, and there is no way to know if it's that or if it's from a normal business strike. I'm leaning on grease strike. Report this Post to the Staff
ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 1:21 pm I googled the die adjustment strike, and mine has some of characteristics, however they mentioned that the rim/edging should also be weak, but mine is not. even though most of the beads are missing on both sides, Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 1:38 pm Not a die trail or adjustment strike. Struck through on both sides, probably worth about $10, maybe more if bidders wanted to fight over it on ebay...
