coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/25/2016 6:32 pm A low pressure strike will not look like that. Note the rim? That is what is formed after a full strike appeared. On a low pressure strike that rim will not be there. Check the images above. The cent is a Struck Through Grease. (note the rim) The Dollar is the low pressure strike. Barely a design present, but no rim. With as much grease on the reverse, I'm thinking it is also a filled die with grease issue. The rims are not cupped like you would see on a struck through a capped die. So it is a Struck Through Grease error. Report this Post to the Staff

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 08/25/2016 9:54 pm John, It could be, but I wouldn't think the reverse would be affected. Coinlover1899, congrats on the win! Be sure to get some pics when the coin arrives Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/26/2016 11:43 am Quote: Any chance it is some stage of a capped die? Due to the increased pressure from the extra material covering the capped die, the side away from the struck through side tends to be very sharply struck. That clearly isn't the case here.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/26/2016 1:50 pm On a capped die strike the coins tend to look cupped at the rims. The rims on the OPs coin are straight up and down. A Struck Through Grease caused your error on your coin. Edited by coop 08/26/2016 9:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
