<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 8198826, member: 73995&quot;]The quarter above shows quite a few of the characteristics known with weak strikes, except the third side. It makes me wonder what the third side of the coin looks like. If it is 100% full then I completely agree with grease filled dies. But in these 6 points given on Error-ref it doesn&#039;t quite match the criteria for a greaser.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.error-ref.com/?s=Die+adjustment+strike" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.error-ref.com/?s=Die+adjustment+strike" rel="nofollow">https://www.error-ref.com/?s=Die+adjustment+strike</a></p><p>The below is a quote from the page.</p><p><br /></p><p>Weak strikes are sometimes confused with grease strikes – coins that are struck through a heavy layer of compacted die fill.&nbsp; It’s actually quite easy to tell the two errors apart.</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li>A weak strike will show a poorly developed or absent design rim.&nbsp; A grease strike will show a very well-developed design rim.</li> <li>A weak strike will retain some, most, or all of the planchet’s original proto-rim.&nbsp; The proto-rim is erased in a grease strike.</li> <li>A weak strike will retain the beveled rim/edge junction of the&nbsp; planchet.&nbsp; The bevel will be lost in a grease strike.</li> <li>The edge will be weakly struck and relatively narrow in a weak strike.&nbsp; The edge will be tall and vertical in a grease strike.</li> <li>Reeding will be weak or absent in a weak strike.&nbsp; Reeding will be very strong in a grease strike.</li> <li>In a weak strike, extent and pattern of weakness will be essentially the same on both faces.&nbsp; Uneven weakness is a hallmark of most grease strikes.</li> </ol><p>The photo below shows a weakly-struck 2007 Montana quarter.&nbsp; It was struck on a Schuler press, a model that doesn’t even require ram pressure and die clearance to be adjusted by means of a test run.&nbsp; The design rim is fairly well formed because state quarter dies have a relatively flat die face (very little die convexity).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.error-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/53600979.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
