Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 06/25/2024 9:24 pm I believe this is a pretty good example of a grease-filled die. Under ordinary lighting, the missing letters are barely visible. Blasting them in the light box allows them to be seen. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 06/25/2024 9:48 pm Yep I agree with your assessment, although I do note that sometimes weakness in strike is due to incomplete die filling when the metal has a larger area (like a bust) to flow into on the other side of the coin.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 06/25/2024 10:24 pm The mass is 5.05g, so right on the nose. Insufficient metal would produce a more gradual gradient to the missing features, no? The grease-filled die seems more likely to create missing features right next to fully formed devices.
