<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 2589768, member: 59737&quot;]I think this will answer your question: yes, that technically means the mint messed up either way you look at it.&nbsp; The thing is, there is so much that goes into the minting process in terms of pressure and precision that grease filled dies are pretty common and considered acceptable (just like up to 15 degrees of rotation or 5% misalignment with dies).&nbsp; Now, if the FG was polished off, it would be worth a little more, but you&#039;d need an MS coin to identify the signs of it being done by polishing.&nbsp; Based on your coins&#039; conditions, I think we would all have to settle on grease filled dies, but I welcome opinions for the polishing as it would likely teach me something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
