coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 2:18 pm I would say strike through (grease). Looks like a keeper. Extreme ones are very interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 2:35 pm Possible die trial strike. Richard Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 3:30 pm I was also thinking a die trial strike. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 3:32 pm Since most of the detail present seems to be at the center, i.e. closest to the areas with the highest relief, then I would be inclined to agree with ziggy9 and say it is an adjustment strike. Not sure of the value but I bet it is worth more than a grease struck-through Here is a linky for background info http://www.coinworld.com/news/061807/BW_0618.asp Edited by biokemist6 01/02/2009 4:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
killians76 Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 3:36 pm after looking at it awhile, it looks like a 1999 but cant tell if there is a mint mark or not. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 3:54 pm Die trial strike? That's even more interesting.... Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 6:35 pm Can't be a die trial strike because of the edge rim formed with the line near the rim. I have one I always thought was a die trial strike till Mike Diamond pointed out what I had missed. The setup process makes the rim, the edge of the die makes the step down from the rim. Just a Grease Filled Die. Report this Post to the Staff
killians76 Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 6:44 pm bummer.... thanks coop, I know I've read some on Grease Filled Dies and it said there were dollars involved in premium, is this a situation were this is a few dollars or is this a little more because of both side involved?

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 9:29 pm Struck through obstructed dies...probably grease. Specimens this dramatic are worth some premium value - a few dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
