CarlOmaha Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 10/28/2019 5:35 pm I'm a little confused about this coin. I have seen examples of die adjustment strike coins and this is the first one that I have found that may be such an error. I am wondering if it is a die adjustment strike, a strike through grease (obv. & rev.?) or if it is normal wear. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/28/2019 5:50 pm The deep rims don't look like an adjustment strike. It looks more like a Grease Filled Dies.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/28/2019 5:55 pm Correct. It is a Struck Through Grease issue. Here is a side by side of a Struck Through Grease issue on a coin and a weak strike on a coin: Note the rims on the both coins. Strong rims for a Struck Through Grease error. No rims on a weak, low pressure strike. Report this Post to the Staff

CarlOmaha Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 10/28/2019 9:03 pm Thank you, everyone, for the education! I'll remember the rim feature regarding die adjustment strikes. Of course there is circulation wear on this coin, but I can rule out this in regards to the struck-thru-grease features being present? Report this Post to the Staff
