Post some grease

I was always mildly interested in grease filled/partially filled dies, post an interesting one if you have one

Is that struck-through grease or struck-through cloth or something else?

I don't know. Most everything I've looked at indicates struck thru grease. Struck thru cloth? I never hear of that.

 

Sorry, looks like the slab went thru the war not the penny.

 

@Amos 811 .. did you ever get that coin slabbed?

 

No I have not, I have communicated with the only other known example owner however.

 

I must have missed that thread, what was the consensus as to why there are two 8's????
Certainly grease didn't cause this?????

 

grease got so hot, and hardened, and broke free of the die. Mike Diamond wrote an article on it, and i believe others have said it is a truly rare form of doubling. Google 'grease hub doubling'. here is one article http://www.lincolncentforum.com/the-non-hub-doubling-resource-page/
and here is Diamonds article: http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/2013/08/migrating-molds-of-stiff-die-fill-create-nove.html

 

Holy numismoly! That is one cool form of doubling, that should be like the king of grease errors or something

 

It is

 

Never mind, I found it.

I think this one is struck thru as well. Or grease filled die?

 

Thanks TJ1952 for finding this link. For a while I thought I'd had too much happy juice.
