Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 01/05/2023 3:15 pm This is why it is always a good idea to post a full OBV and REV picture. While Struck Through Grease is a possibility, if on the OBV there is a corresponding mark, then this coin also may have just been put on a flat surface and hit by something that flattened the details.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 12:52 pm Thanks for the pics. No it is a normal business strike Type A which for those years was characteristic low strike. The leg in general it is low pressure strike and probably some grease was involve. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95644 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 1:10 pm Thanks for the additional images. I tend to agree that the die was partially filled with a gritty grease. Collecting since 1972.
