    Would this struck thru grease error add any value to this $5.00, 1990 mint set? Thanks.

    It shouldn't, but it's hard to make bidiots understand that.

    What's with the lines in the so called "grease filled" area? Never saw anything like that before.

    There were evidently lines in the planchet, which did not strike out because the grease is a soft material.

    This is what I usually see as a planchet - where did all the lines come from on those? Any thoughts?

    My guess....and it's only a guess. Is that all metals in their original form has lines or some type of texture to it.

    Maybe struck through cloth

    No I think its struck through grease, this planchet just had thicker than normal roller lines. I can see light striations on the planchet above bit thry are light. As to adding value I bet it will add a few buck as collectors look for errors in sealed ogp's. It's minor though and wouldn't add too much methinks

    I'm no expert in this field but the bidiots might give you double what it's worth. Maybe more if you market it right and be funny about it in the listing. Get people thinking a pebble sealed in with the set is neat and you may get a small bidding war. I use the recent dime/nail as an example of this type of marketing
