coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2015 4:47 pm Struck Through Grease on both sides. It is not worn as the die wear shows on the outside edge of devices toward the rim. Not damaged as you can see where the grease moved to cover just the deeper area of the die, thus the un-formed devices. Face shows it slightly also. Not a premium coin, just interesting.

ndgoflo Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 03/26/2015 5:10 pm Thanks Coop, I have seen tons of examples where the letters and numbers are filled, but this has to be the largest Greaser I have found yet. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/26/2015 5:35 pm There is one other possibility- thin planchet. The areas of weakness also correspond to the highest points of relief, areas that you would expect to be weakly struck if the planchet was thin. If it weighs the normal 3.1 grams, then Struck Through Grease would be the correct answer. Report this Post to the Staff
ndgoflo Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 03/26/2015 6:07 pm It weighs 3.0 grams 9 times out of 10. Weighed out at 3.1 grams just one time in ten tries. Report this Post to the Staff
