jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5209 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 8:13 pm I found this one in a roll a while back. At first I thought it was a beat-up casino coin at first glance, but it has full reading, and the details do not appear to be hammered like a casino coin. Weak strike, worn dies, or Struck Through Grease obverse and reverse? I have not found a Greaser with both sides affected before. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 11:29 pm Still scratching. Grease filled or weak strike. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 12:46 am The rims are strong, so that makes me think a Grease Filled Die. Normal weight is 11.34 grams, so it is close. I've see examples with both sides affected with grease. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 01:57 am I'm going with a Greaser. Theoretically, if it had been struck this weakly, would the edge be affected? It seems like the metal wouldn't expand into the reeds in the collar as well as a normal strike. Report this Post to the Staff
