RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 11/04/2023 11:29 am Do you think this qualifies for a Grease-Mold Doubling? Or just a Greaser? The second 9 looks a bit fatter than the first 9. It looks like almost touching the MM. Check out the MM. The vertical bar and how large it looks. The date looking at the full obverse shot looks 1995? Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 11/04/2023 11:32 am Looks just like the "Grease-Mold Doubling" in the recent posts here. It's a new variety to me so not sure. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/04/2023 3:41 pm Try playing with the angle of your photo lighting in the close shots if possible. If this has any Grease-mold doubling, it might be possible to highlight it with a proper angle of the lighting. Here are two shots of the same coin that shows the impact that the angle of your lighting can have on this type of phenomenon. Report this Post to the Staff

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 11/05/2023 2:08 pm Well I'm still trying to figure this out. It's either just a Greaser or grease mold doubling or Pareidolia. Can you tell that the second 9 and MM looks larger and is smeared flowing towards the rim? Are those die flow lines following the direction of the smear? Thanks stoneman for the advice.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/06/2023 07:17 am Rob, By Mr. Diamond's definition of Grease-mold doubling,and what he has observed, the terminal digit of the date is where this phenomenon will occur. You are seeing something happening at the third digit and the MM. Per your last pics, there appears to be the outline of a partial larger second 9. You might want to invite Mr. Diamond to weigh in on this for his opinion. The lines that you are seeing are roller lines that because of the layer of grease between the die and the planchet, did not become flattened by the strike. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 11/06/2023 1:46 pm The disturbance to the right of the D-mintmark is too indistinct to draw any conclusion. That said, I've never seen any mintmark affected by grease-mold doubling. It's always the terminal digit of the date. I'd just file this error away as a garden-variety grease strike.
