Is this 2015 showing Grease Mold Doubling/Filled Die Doubling? This peaks my curiosity,you can still see black spots around the affected areas. This coin also shows alot of weak clash marks and mild spread on devices onthe obverse. Any insight or opinions are appreciated Above the designer initials shows the f and m well Look around his eye
That is not grease mold doubling. This is what it is - http://www.error-ref.com/grease-mold-doubling/ @Amos 811 has a great example that I attributed for him a few years ago. His member picture shows what it is.
I honestly thought that was what I was referring to,I remember seeing his and saw this one....it made my brain work for a sec
The link was to explain what GMD is. I was not saying that it is what you have Did you eat to much turkey?
Personally, I think this description leaves a lot to be desired. Grease-Mold Doubling Part VI. Striking Errors: Struck-Through Errors: Struck Through Die Fill: Grease-Mold Doubling "Definition: A form of raised doubling that develops in association with “grease strikes”. In this form of doubling, die fill of a smooth consistency coats the die surface and fills its recesses. The die fill sets and becomes very stiff as it pounds against many planchets. The layer of die fill escapes from its recess, migrates onto the field, and is struck into a planchet, leaving a raised, slightly enlarged version of the adjacent normal design element." The die fill sets and becomes very stiff...... - Wouldn't it be better to just say that it hardens? The layer of die fill escapes from its recess...... - Don't you mean it fell, or dropped, from the recess? It didn't break out of jail, did it? ......migrates onto the field...... - It didn't migrate anywhere. It fell, randomly, out of the recess of the die. It ain't geese flying south for the winter! Why couldn't the writer just say that it is a "Dropped Element" and explain it in simpler terms? (Does anyone remember what KISS means?) Oh, I get it! That would be like copying what someone else already said. Chris
With the examples I have seen, There is physical raised doubling of portions of the coin, and also flattened out high spots. If that helps at all.
