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[/QUOTE]
