<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2582453, member: 24633&quot;]A lot of people will call this sort of error a strikethrough, but I&#039;m a bit pickier in my choice of descriptions. When I think of a strikethrough, I associate it with a one-time, immediate occurrence. For example, a coin that is created by the strikethrough of a piece of wire is usually a one-of-a-kind error. The same is usually true for a dropped element. But, grease and debris doesn&#039;t fill the incuse part of a die all at once. It is a gradual accumulation that is compacted by continually striking planchet after planchet after planchet. That is why I refer to it as &quot;the result of a grease-filled die&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>This doesn&#039;t mean that I don&#039;t understand what other people are saying when they describe a coin as &quot;struck through grease&quot;. It&#039;s just the Virgo in me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
