Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 05/26/2015 5:37 pm Picked this up and was wondering if it might be a weak strike or even through grease? It is affected only on the right side of the coin on both OBV and REV. The rim looks stronger then the devices which is why I was wondering. Could be just uneven circulation wear but I'm not sure. I'm used to moderns. Maybe uneven PSI on the strike? What do the experts think? Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

I've been doing a collection of grease filled two centers for quite awhile now, this one is pretty cool. Usually it's only a letter or two, mostly on the reverse that is missing the strike. This coin has an extremely large amount of obliteration due to grease filling it. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
