<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1132586, member: 24633&quot;]Okay, so I&#039;m being picky. A strikethrough is something entirely different from a grease-filled die. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A strikethrough occurs when an object such as a piece of wire, cloth, metal filings, etc. comes between the die and the planchet when it is struck so that it leaves an impression of the object on the surface of the planchet. Occasionally, the object will remain imbedded in the planchet, and it is called a &quot;retained strikethrough&quot;. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A grease-filled die occurs when grease and debris accumulate in an incused element of the die, such as a letter. Sometimes it will only partially fill the incused element making it appear to be weakly struck. Other times, it can completely fill the incused element, and continued strikes can make it almost as hard as the steel. In these cases, the element disappears completely on the planchet.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
