mountainman 2 Valued Member United States 351 Posts	Posted 01/17/2016 2:24 pm Is this lamination or maybe a Grease Filled Die? I'm still learning here. Thanks MM2 Report this Post to the Staff

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/17/2016 2:32 pm Looks to me like some kind of chemical spilled onto the coin and it chewed up some of the copper. Edited by seal006 01/17/2016 2:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 11:15 am Since the area is not discolored, and since any chemical erosion is likely to penetrate the thin copper plating, I'm inclined to classify this as a struck-through error. It's either a grease strike or a closely-related error, an impression of a floating encrustation. http://www.coinworld.com/news/world...-column.html Error coin writer and researcher.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/18/2016 3:08 pm Grease would prevent the shine from happening on that area. There was grease in the deeper recess of the die and a bot on the field that prevented the shine in that area. (there may have been some debris in the grease on the field, leaving it rough) Report this Post to the Staff
mountainman 2 Valued Member United States 351 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 12:10 am Thanks again everyone. So I can label this as a Struck Through Grease? Was ready to toss it back. Report this Post to the Staff
