wmsawyer64 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 02/01/2022 6:33 pm Hey all: I think the coin I listed here was reverse Struck Through Grease and the mint mark doubled on the obverse. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Edited by wmsawyer64 02/01/2022 7:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sir Derrin Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 02/01/2022 9:55 pm Looks like a Greaser... but I think it is actually PMD Some one smarter then I will come along and we will see :) You have the same pictures attached to http://goccf.com/t/415988 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96837 Posts	Posted 02/02/2022 3:35 pm Not sure that is a Greaser on the reverse. I have seen many Lincoln Cent reverses with a weak strike in this same area. I believe it is due to the amount of material that is needed to form the lower portion of the bust on the obverse. just like this one: http://goccf.com/t/299812 (read down to Coop's post a few down from the top) or this one: http://goccf.com/t/380488 I'll see if I can find a few more examples It happens on wheat back cents as well: Collecting since 1972.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19184 Posts	Posted 02/02/2022 4:00 pm Yes, yes. The reverse of Lincoln cents (mostly 1970s-early '80s) can show strike weakness in the 'STATES of' and 'E PL...' area. It's a matter of insufficient metal to completely fill the design--obverse (Abe's bust) gets filled; reverse, not so much. The bust is immediately opposite the reverse 'STATES of' and 'E. PL...'

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2022 10:22 am Same Events happen on the Wheat cents. The most of the metal is going on the obverse. Any shortage will show up on the reverse as weakness. Also the weakness can be affected by the Struck Through Grease issue. Neither are a premium in either case. Just note the differences between the two and you will understand the striking process better. Report this Post to the Staff
