I forgot my box of mint sets, so I shall get them when I go home in a few days and fix the road to my house from the monsoon`s. I`m curious if this is a Greaser or wear? Thx in advance Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/20/2022 4:50 pm It is a Struck Through Grease error. What makes me think on that? Look at the devices, they are wider than normal, meaning the deeper part of the die was partly filled, thus the coins devices will be wider/taller and weaker as the die gets more grease in that area: CoopHome: How can I tell is my coin has a Grease Fill issue? The devices will be wider/taller and thinner on the coin Edited by coop 08/20/2022 4:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
