Dearborn Moderator United States 96936 Posts	Posted 05/20/2023 4:23 pm Interesting coin, the high points on Lincoln's are flat, and the area on the fields around the rim looks odd. It could be a Grease Filled Die and lots of the devices didn't strike up properly. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/20/2023 7:41 pm to the CCF! My vote is for a Grease Filled Die strike. It has the classic signs of a Grease Filled Die strike. The rims are strong and deep, the grease has caused the hazy look on the deepest part of the die and at the rims. Roller Lines are visible on both sides in the fields but whatever filled the die has obliterated them and left the haze where it was thickest.

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 05/20/2023 8:23 pm Could it be a combo of a grease-filled die and thin planchet?

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 05/20/2023 9:28 pm Grease filled die. The additional material (grease) in the striking chamber led to increased pressure on the edge during the strike, which is why the rim appears taller and more square than normal.

CoinHunt New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 05/20/2023 10:00 pm Thank you guys for the info and thoughts on this super cool Shield Cent. I myself have Greased filled Die or obstructed strike as the cause. I highly doubt PMD mainly because I pulled this coin while coin roll hunting fresh 2021s bank rolls when they were showing up in my area years ago. I found a few others with similar characteristics in a single roll, this one being the most effected. Just haven't come across others and wonder if I have a special little treasure Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6542 Posts	Posted 05/20/2023 11:24 pm I ran into a similar coin this week while sorting through State Quarters. It's obviously not as extreme, and I'm finding it hard to photograph the details with my iPad. The coin is a 2005-D Kansas State Quarter. The text QUARTER is very shallow and faint on the obverse. That matches up with the disappearing K in KANSAS on the reverse. The UNITED STATES is also a little faded, matching up with a slightly weak E Pluribus Unum. Everything else is super sharp—Washington, In God We Trust, Liberty, D, 2005, the buffalo design. I have a handful of other State Quarters that show the same phenomenon for UNITED obverse, state name reverse. No other visible wear. Report this Post to the Staff
