CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 12:17 am I think it's a Greaser. Weak strike would affect the rim, and wear would affect the whole coin. Edited by CoinMasters 10/04/2015 12:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 01:36 am A weak strike won't have full rims, wear will usually affect the whole coin. I agree with CoinMasters that this is a Struck Through Grease filled die error. A nice one too! Edited by cwb 10/04/2015 01:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 02:40 am Grease Filled Die Errors have a small collector base, so don't command the premiums of many other varieties and errors. Yours is very unique because the effect is so extensive. I would keep it. Report this Post to the Staff

jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 11:56 am Very nice Greaser you have there. I'd pay a $ or two for it. Pretty cool because of how much is affected. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 3:24 pm On grease strike coins the rim are usually full. On a low pressure strike the rims are not formed: On weak strikes the rim and some deeper devices maybe weak: Does this answer your question?
