    I would not expect anything from GSC to slab. This outfit is known for selling problem coins. Ya just can't be sure at all judging coins from images, it just won't happen. It's tough enough in-hand!

    Detecto - out of all the coins you pictured in this thread I would say that only one, #4 of the original five, has any chance at all of being graded & slabbed. And even that one is iffy.

    99.9 % sure it is not a grease filled die . The coins planchet was not thick enough in that area to have the the design fully stuck into it.

    From Overton's 1st edition . "Blanked Dies - Quite often low & smooth,or nearly smoth areas will appear on reverses,where the die made little if any impression. These areas nearly are found in the stars & clouds on the teverses of 1796-1807 Fillet head type & in PLURIB in the scroll & AT of STATES on the Turban head type. These smooth depressed areas will be found opposite of the heavy portion of the bust & are caused by planchets that lacked enough metal to completely fill the die. As to the individual planchets,it is not a die variety & is not treated as such"
