If it's worth only 10 cents to some, I think I'll hold out for more. Don't you think it looks kinda cool?

Interesting, but I really can't see a remnant of the last digit of the one I have. Curious why you'd retain a coin worth a mere 10 cents (just kidding).

I'd like to know if there could be so much of what might be grease on a die that a blank planchet would result, despite an attempted stamping.

Toomtoom: I got my dime in 2000. Being in a Denver only coins area, it was the first Philly 2000 that I found. I kept it as an answer to frustration of finding Philly coins this far west. Usually by the time we get them they aren't worth saving. But this one I kept as it matched my 199_ Cent with the same problem. They are a novelty coin, you just can't retire on them though. Neat coin to show others. Worth what it says on the back.

As far as your other question, I'm not sure exactly what your asking. But here is what I think your asking? Planchets are cut and run through a setup process that forms the rim. A blank planchet can be type 1 or type 2. (Not setup=1 Setup rim added=2.) Coins are not stamped. Stamps are stamped. Coins are struck. When grease get on a die it blocks the design on the devices of the coin. It may be one letter/number to a large portion on the coin. The grease strike through can affect one or both sides depending on the source of the grease/debris that it strikes through. Ask if I missed what you were referring to.
