If not, it is the worst Greaser I have ever seen. Just read an article by Mike Diamond regarding Grease Filled Dies in Coin World It discussed ghost images created by pressure variations over the die. Could the long depression in the portrait be a ghost image of the memorial on the reverse? Jim Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/24/2010 6:59 pm Struck through late stage capped die, there is no trace of the Memorial design so it is not a brockage. The cap has thinned out enough that the obverse die design is able to be transferred to the coin in a very weak manner. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 07/24/2010 10:46 pm As others have remarked, this cent was struck through a late-stage die cap. It is therefore a generic capped die strike. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
