stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/03/2023 10:18 am Greetings all Grease-mold doubling is a rather interesting and mostly unrecognized strike error related to Grease Filled Dies. https://www.error-ref.com/?s=Grease+mold Lawest actually posted one a few days ago that has gone relatively unnoticed. http://goccf.com/t/454848 These are eather rare or little known errors, but quite worthwhile to be aware of.

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 11/03/2023 10:52 am Thx for clarifying where the doubling is visible @stone. To my uneducated eyes, this last digit appears enlarged (in other words, taller as well as thicker), Very interesting!

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 11/03/2023 1:13 pm Thanks Stoneman. I'm seeing the last two digits as 96 (barely), and the 6 is larger than normal.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/03/2023 1:45 pm The 1996 was my find.(if you are referring to the example that I posted) Before my find, Mr Diamond had excluded, in error-ref , 1996 from the range of years that this type of doubling had occurred.
