Is this Struck Through Grease? Also why is the Reeding separation from the coin near the date. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/05/2019 10:58 am I'm with E&V. The deep rims and missing detail on the date and letters makes me think it's Struck Through Grease. I see lots of wear, but not enough to remove the details. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74853 Posts	Posted 09/05/2019 11:16 am The devices are wider in size and are disappearing, which is typical of a Struck Through Grease error coin. Because of the crevices of the die being blocked with grease, it will cause the coins to be struck weakly. https://www.error-ref.com/struck-th...-grease-oil/ Errers and Varietys.

Since the centers of the design elements remain distinct with all of the elements near the rim showing distressed detail, it happened after minting. This is EXACTLY what millions of Ike's looked like after cycling through the slots an uncountable number of times. How do I know? Did it. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/05/2019 12:09 pm Another reason I think it's grease is the detail on the reverse is strong. It's only the obverse that shows missing letters and detail. If it were wear from slot machines or vending wouldn't it show equal wear on both? I'm still thinking grease, but I like the debate!

jbuck Moderator United States 189603 Posts	Posted 09/05/2019 3:35 pm I am going to say Greaser. In my experience, the casino Ikes do not have rims that full. Also, it does not looks like the reeding is worn away (another tell for slot abused Ikes).

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 09/05/2019 4:30 pm The Reeding is fine, I'm split on if it is a Greaser or not, I had originally thought it was just wear, but jbuck's summation pretty much matches mine. Report this Post to the Staff
