Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/26/2017 9:06 pm How about thickness and weight? First thing to check when trying to figure out what the problem was. A thin, underweight planchet will show weakness on all outer details and a fair impression in the center. This is because the dies are slightly convex, rounded up in the middle to extend life. A weak pressure strike will also cause this effect. Best delineation is to note under scope how much die flow has happened, more evidence of wider, stretched letters points to grease/polishing over strike. If planchet is underweight, would be a "soft strike" or "Split planchet" Mint error. Edited by Crazyb0 09/26/2017 9:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74889 Posts	Posted 06/29/2018 10:19 am Nope, not Struck Through Grease. It's actually called Design-Devouring Die Wear. It's very common on 2016 P Dimes. http://www.error-ref.com/design-dev...ng-die-wear/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
