<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2582241, member: 24314"]Most of us old timers do not give a second thought to anything made at the mint after the "Vintage (1964) Period." Oh, except varieties and MAJOR errors. Therefore, the modern manufacture of coins is irrelevant to us. Unless they are major errors, so are the die breaks, struck thru's, and clips found on modern pieces that so many collectors love,value, and spend hours searching for. It's a cheap form of satisfaction from a great hobby! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>It is a certifiable fact that older "vintage" coins are found that were struck with some sort of debris between the die and planchet. "Grease" is a catch-all for things on these coins that cannot be identified. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=76739]@usmc60[/USER] I hope that one day all your questions will be answered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
