coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/29/2009 12:26 pm A few more to look at. I save those with major missing devices and minor ones for educational images. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...eddie_01.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...e_filled.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._Dies_01.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...D_DIE_01.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...DARRELLC.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...e_Filled.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...__Digits.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
Jorgy Valued Member United States 145 Posts	Posted 03/29/2009 2:01 pm I have several of these from 1995 I got in a mint bag. They each have a different die crack on the reverse that shows they came from different dies. I also have a bunch of the coins from the same dies that are normal and show no sign of the die fill. This is a composite of the cracks on 3 different coins that have no grease to show the cracks are the same. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/29/2009 2:40 pm Its a machine. It has to use grease to cut down friction. Grease may transfer from one thing to another and ends up on the dies. It prevents the planchet from shaping into the devices on the die, leaving the coin with out devices in that area.
