luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 08/29/2021 5:18 pm I showed this coin to the forum last 2 years ago, all replies leaned towards Grease Filled Die. After reading an old 2011 article in Coin World today I am not so sure. spontaneous press mslfunction, improper RAM pressure, or a die adjustment failure? I just am not convinced Grease Filled Dies on modern presses are this dramatic. Opinions welcomed and thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/29/2021 7:04 pm That is a Struck Through Grease error. It is a nice one. On a die adjustment (low pressure strike) you would not have an outside rim: Note the rim/no rim issue? Still has a nice value, but no where near the same amount as a low pressure strike.

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 575 Posts	Posted 08/30/2021 10:09 am The reeding appears fully struck and on a die adjustment error the reeding is generally weaker because of the lack of force needed to push the planchet into the collar fully. Also, the devices are not obscured in a completely symmetrical fashion, which you would expect on a die adjustment error. The end of "Louisiana" on the top of the reverse (" ANA") is almost fully struck, but the corresponding spot on the obverse is not. Report this Post to the Staff
