d_dob Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 11/14/2015 10:58 pm I finally got some good pics of this coin. I just read some of the recent posts and comments about greasers. Is that what this is? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 11/14/2015 11:07 pm Looks like it was Struck Through Grease to me. Edit: No, on second thought it might be a weak strike. We may hear from an expert. Edited by CoinMasters 11/14/2015 11:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 11/14/2015 11:12 pm It is interesting that the obverse and reverse are both affected in the same area. What does the edge look like? It could be a tapered planchet error. I didn't notice that when I posted the first time. Edited by cwb 11/14/2015 11:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
d_dob Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 11/15/2015 01:41 am I'll get closer pics of the edge and weigh it tomorrow. :) Thanks guys! Report this Post to the Staff
d_dob Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 11/15/2015 5:15 pm OK, here are some close-ups of the area involved and the edge. The edge does taper and get thinner where the strike appears weak. Also, the weight is 2.8 grams. (My scale only registers to a tenth of a gram.) Report this Post to the Staff
