JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 1:51 pm Looks like a Struck Through Grease to me. It is only the letters where the cavity is grease filled that is affected. In this case it was only the I and B. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 2:03 pm looks like a strike through grease, But maybe my eyes are playin tricks on me and the area where the IB should be looks disturbed and discolored a little.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19115 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 2:36 pm I'm thinking grease filled, unless someone went through considerable trouble to carefully remove the letters (now missing) and 'refinish' the coin's surface in that area. Report this Post to the Staff

Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 5:02 pm Greaser, I thought so but the fact that it didn't take the L threw me. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 06/18/2022 09:40 am Sometimes when the mint worker cleans the die they move the grease that collects on the die. This wiping action sometimes just pushes it into the cavities of the devices, and the L being so close to the rim got a good cleaning. Collecting since 1972.
