coincrew1000 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 01/23/2023 01:20 am Here are 2 - 1992 D Pennies from the same bank roll. This First one has what appears to be a strike through on the Reverse. The second has the same strike through but to a lesser extent. So after the first strike some grerase would likely fall off then making the next strike less severe. correct? unlikely I know that these came from the same die but it seems a possiblity. What do y'all think? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/23/2023 1:50 pm The clue that it is a grease error? Note the devices are wider looking. That is because the deepest areas of that die, had grease that prevented the strike up of those devices. Note how they are wider looking? The devices are tapered. Wider at the base and smaller at the top of the devices. Why do they do that? If they didn't the coin would be stuck into the die on each strike and would have to be removed on each strike. Thus the tapering of the devices. CoopHome: What are die devices tapered? How does a Grease Fill on a die alter the strike? to allow the coins to not stick onto the dies. grease prevents the strike from happening on a die void. contained grease or oil can stop even a strike from happening. Hydraulic Jacks work on this principle. Contained chamber with added push, lifts even heavy stuff. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95432 Posts	Posted 01/23/2023 4:57 pm These are Grease Filled Dies, you can see that the devices are thicker (as Coop describes and shows in the pictures). are they sequential strikes? anybody's guess there.
