Surf-city-NC Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 11/25/2017 4:16 pm I was just going through a few rolls of 95s looking for the DDO, I found this one with a skinny "I". Is this just a severe example of a polished die? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 1:50 pm Not a Struck Through Grease issue. remember when the die gets filled with a little grease. The devices get wider. The reduced size devices happen because of being over polished and the field being reduced, making the devices smaller: Uneven polishing (more isolated on one area) reduces the devices more. Leaving them distorted. On the 'I' on LIBERTY the same thing happened there as well. Field reduction. Note the east tip of the bottom of the 'L' how it tapers to thinner.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 9:59 pm When the devices are wider like that last image on 'IN', they they are a lot shorter in height because of the Grease Fill. Report this Post to the Staff
