coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/30/2022 4:28 pm Dig deeper. First look at the rims? Are they normal? Yes or no? On a Struck Through Grease issue, the rims will be normal: Do the rims look like this coin? No. So the issue is not a Struck Through Grease issue. Also the reverse rim is normal, jug the obverse is affected. So this is not a Struck Through Grease issue. Note the mention of a struck through a capped die? What happens on a coin with the strike of a capped die? The rims look more like a saucer. Thus they are not protecting the devices and design. Saucer like: Note this on this coin. So it is not a Struck Through Grease, but a struck through a capped die. Why? Rims that are not formed normally. Train the eyes to see what is there. Also note what is not there. Thus you can as a detective, rule out what is could be, and what is really is. Giving answers should have a basis. So when helping with an answer, helping a student to see what you are seeing is important? Why? Because he will learn the process of what is there, and what isn't there. That is how new posters learn more. So they can see what we see on a coin. How we determine what we are seeing, then explaining why we come to that conclusion. Then they will see what we see on their coin. CoopHome: How to train eyes, with deduction and how we arrive at that answer help see what we see with better explanations, help them see what we see Edited by coop 08/30/2022 4:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5775 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 07:42 am This is a difficult one to sort out. I see signs of it being either one but feel Coop is correct about this being a Struck Through Grease error. The "waves" don't resemble folds from a capped die in this late stage. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 11:37 am Now that a new subject is brought up, lets add more: Flattening (thinning) die caps: Deteriorating die caps: Uniface die caps: Rotating die caps: Disintegrating die caps: Generic Die cap: Brockage die cap: Early stage capped die: Other die caps: Errors are a one at a time issue often, other times they are repeated as the die is still capped. So different die cap events happen as the machine has a covered capped die. Thus the different types examples are created. Report this Post to the Staff
