tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 11:58 pm I am guessing it is because of grease ? has only a small blemish on obverse which bites but found it in a roll today and the no period between E and Pluribus is neat. Should I assume its grease? Report this Post to the Staff

tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 01:13 am I didn't even see the ghosting till you said something I have to step back and quit looking so close all the time. I wish you could see all of the toning on this coin with the purples and blues but I don't know how to bring it out in the picture Report this Post to the Staff

This angle must be duplicated with the camera instead of your eye. A hint, try placing a diffused light source as close to the axis of the lens as possible and tilt the coin slightly towards the light sourse. At a certain point the toning should pop into view Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 11:14 am It's a ghoster, wich means the dies were either really worn or too far apart. Also, a weak strike could cause this effect. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/19/2015 7:11 pm Note how the E and PLU are wider than normal. The is because of the grease in the die that blocked only a portion of the devices. 21 Report this Post to the Staff
