A while back Mike Diamond joined in on a post and said something about the grease causing the letters or numbers larger. As in the 79, especially the 9 tail looks longer. I can't remember what he called it. Report this Post to the Staff

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 08/12/2024 3:54 pm . Thanks everyone. Any help about the stretched 79 digits? @ijn1944. Hope these rim shots are what you were referring to. I turned the coin a 1/4 turn each time. Edited by RobO411 08/12/2024 4:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 08/12/2024 4:07 pm Nice rim pics. Was wanting to rule out an early stage Dryer Coin. Thus, appears to be a legit grease issue. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 08/12/2024 9:41 pm not stretched just grease filled - almost to the field on the die. You see the devices are tapered on the die. The deeper incuse it is, the narrower it is. by the field it is at its widest - that makes it look larger. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
