Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 12:19 am What I find is cool about this coin is that: 1. its a Greaser and 2. has Machine Doubling on the nose But the real question for me is....What is it called when the 2 dies are to close together? Is there a "technical" term for this? When the dies are not close enough, the strike is weak, not to answer my own question, would the answer to my question would be a "heavy" or "strong" strike? I don't think it was the grease that helped push out the rim because the thickness of the rim is the same all the around the rim, even where the grease wasn't.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 05:54 am Wouldn't the thickness of the rim be determined on how tight the upset milling was done? Just thinking out loud, sort of. Thanks, John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 11:56 am I bet the weight would be the same on both coins if they are Zincolns. The difference is as John1 mentioned all in the upset milling. I've found deveral example of the 1997-1999 that seemed thicker, but it was just the rim was taller. Report this Post to the Staff

But coop, here is 1999 and 2000 LMC with the same upset mill issue. Everyday is still a school day for me.....Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
