<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2899791, member: 76739&quot;]I have to ask this question. This is a question that not even the major grading companies can answer, this is why they&#039;re not using the term Grease.filled die and switching to debris filled die.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s quite obvious a lot of members on this site. Do not like change.</p><p>It is quite obvious and logical at the time someone came up with the term Grease filled die it was probably appropriate and correct 100 years ago.</p><p>2017 Grease filled die is definitely still being used but it is totally not accurate.</p><p>The production of coinage way back when, has changed considerably up to today&#039;s production standards..</p><p><br /></p><p>We have to face the facts and adjust the terminology to suit the production of today&#039;s coinage, changes slowly taken place with in NUMISMATIC.</p><p>Unfortunately on CT a few members pride themselves on being correct in their terminology.</p><p>In this case they need to come into the 20th century with their terminology.</p><p><br /></p><p>Discuss this quite in-depth with Mr. Moffat, which is a master technician concerning minting equipment, and is also an instructor whose teaches operational procedures with these presses. It is determined there are so many variances in production debris it&#039;s hard to determine sometimes what causes the errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>You use the term struck through Grease. Question what kind of Grease was it struck through?.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/grease-filled-coin.293970/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/grease-filled-coin.293970/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/grease-filled-coin.293970/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
