Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 04/05/2011 11:09 pm The area in question looks to be concave. Not sure how that happened but a clash would show up in the fields of the coin and would be raised i believe. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/05/2011 11:21 pm Indian is correct. This is a struck-through. Probably grease. Because of the size and nature of this one I would say it's worth at least a very modest premium. A bit unusual and different from the typical Grease Filled Die. Report this Post to the Staff

Peaceman Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 9:22 pm If a grease error, it would seem by this picture that this area is the most prone, no? Or does this pic now rules out a "grease" error. The rev. of the mint state one has this damage/wear. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 11:59 am I strongly suspect we are looking at a weak striking problem. I have seen these before that show this weakness in the head and on the shield on the reverse. The central area is actually concave compared to the edge around it. Report this Post to the Staff
