<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 569886, member: 15199&quot;]The darker areas are mostly shadows. Take a look again at the whole coin photo. In the coin in question, the darker area is depressed slightly into the coin. If I angle the coin so the light goes straight into the area, it is the same mint color. Since the rim of the main mintmark is still visible and yet the center is filled is curious. The RPM that &quot;connects&quot; the first mintmark to the &quot;9&quot; is obliterated as well as the diagnostic swirl under the &quot;1 9&quot;. It would seem if it was just grease filled, the whole main mint mark would be gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
