<p>[QUOTE="mikediamond, post: 335862, member: 1859"]The reeding is quite strong, so it's not a weak strike. I would venture that it was struck through heavy grease on both faces, heavy enough on the reverse face to obliterate all details. The obverse certainly looks like a grease strike. I have one Connecticut quarter in my collection struck through such heavy grease on both faces that very little of the design is discernible on either face. So these things do happen, albeit rarely. It's a nice find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
