<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 63885, member: 1859&quot;]This does not appear to be a &quot;grease strike&quot;, a.k.a. filled die error.&nbsp; It does not appear to be an error at all.&nbsp; I say this because the area where the design is weakened or obliterated is too circular for comfort, and because the design rim is completely gone.&nbsp; In a grease strike or any other sort of struck-through error, the design rim is usually tall, due to the increased effective striking pressure.&nbsp; I believe the periphery of the reverse design was removed outside the mint, probably by a buffing wheel of some kind.&nbsp; I have seen many other coins with this kind of alteration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
