Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 7:40 pm Amazing Greaser - don't know what you mean by Die cap though. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 8:59 pm Struck Through Grease, and a fine example at that. The proof-like rim on the obverse is odd. I wonder if that amount of added material between the dies could raise the pressure enough to square it up like that? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 9:50 pm I've not seen a Struck through a capped die on the Shield cents yet. Not sure what side it would be on? But this is just a Struck Through Grease issue. Note the rims on your coin. They are the normal rounded rims. On a struck on a capped die, the rims are more saucer like: Edited by coop 02/09/2021 9:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dan the coin man New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 02:14 am Ok my coin people. I recently thought this was a Greaser but after further investigation found out it's a Die Adjustment coin. Strike through coins only affect one side of the coin. Die Adjustment coins affect both sides because they are used only for strike pressure then disposed of but occasionally get out. Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 04:39 am Quote: Strike through coins only affect one side of the coin. That is incorrect. If you have grease on the hammer die & the anvil die you end up with missing design & devices on both sides. Quote: after further investigation found out it's a Die Adjustment Die adjustment strike's strike with equal pressure. Lincolns bust is pretty well defined. Coop and other members have already told you what it is in the other thread you posted about this coin. It's a Grease Filled Die http://goccf.com/t/392689 Edited by jasper62 02/12/2021 04:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
