Test/weak strike or struck through grease?

I can’t decide if this quarter was struck through grease or is a weak or test strike. If it was grease, then it was on both sides because there is no definition on Washington’s hair. Things that look like die cracks are all scratches.

I say yes to struck through grease. And just that.

 

Sounds good to me. Thanks for the reply.

 

good find

 

Lots of grease to that one.

 

Too much greasy kid stuff IMO too! Nice one!

 

I think the obverse lack of details to Washington's hair is just wear from circulation, while the reverse was struck through grease, a bunch of grease. JMHO.

 

Boris said nothing wrong with a good greaser!

 

If it were a test strike the eagle's breast, which is the highest element of the reverse, would not have any details in the center.

 

Interesting, different, I like it. Thanks for sharing.

 

Nice Greaser....!! Reminds me.. I need an Oil change.

 

Which one: Brylcreem; Groom & Clean; Murray's Pomade or Wildroot Cream Oil?

 

If any part of the rim is sharp and defined on this coin, then it had to have received a normal strike., so a "weak strike" is out. Therefore it has to be some kind of obstruction, which in this case is likely impacted grease.

Nice find, and very dramatic. ~Joe Cronin
