mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 8:58 pm I was asked to comment. I can't determine from the photos alone whether this dollar was mechanically altered or whether this is a bifacial, unipolar grease strike. Such grease strikes do occur.

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 07/13/2023 2:29 pm Actually, I'm kind of leaning towards it is a grease strike. The rims are not crushed as I would expect if it were pinched. Unless someone went to a lot of effort to only flatten it inside the rims. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94798 Posts	Posted 07/13/2023 8:16 pm Me too - a Grease strike. As Smoker stated, if it were mechanically squeezed or pinched, we would see a deformation of the rim and it would bulge outwards - the metal has to go somewhere (unless it was still in the collar of the coin press.)
