I have found these a while back but never posted them to the thread. I think my 97 is a greaser but I can never be sure without confirmation from the resource members. But this 96 "D" is something weird that I have never seen before. It feels as if I can bend it in half like its very soft, almost like a layer of some sort is missing. Any thoughts?

I Agree On The 97-d A greaser! The Other Looks Like It May Be An Improperly Annealed Planchet! Nice Finds! Curious to see others comments on the later one!:xd:

2nd one looks like it was heated up to the point that the zinc became molten. Probably a kid and an acetylene torch.

I just thought I would post another picture for everyone. Like I said earlier, I had found this a while back but thought something or someone destroyed it with something. It really gives an illusion of some weird attributes examples such as wavy steps.

Anymore more thoughts or should I just through it back?

The 96 looks like it use to be a DD... How aweful... The 97 though may be a weak strike... There is weakness on both sides... Wonder what some of the other pros will say!!!

The '97 was struck through (grease) filled dies; the second was heated with a torch (those hooligans again...)

AAAGGHHH! Hooligans practicing malfeasance and tom foolery- I almost caught them in my office last night, but by the time the light switched on, there was only a mess. Wife says it was already there, but I know it was the hooligans.
