1970S Reverse stuck through grease?

[bella]

Is this a minor struck through grease Error . Searched the the site it's similar. But just in the one spot. Alot of the others posted were major all over the coin. Is it something to hold onto or to minor.

It does appear to be a struck through grease. Nice find!

[Chugly]

Yes, that is definitely a struck through. Definitely a keeper and in great condition to boot! Nice find!

[BadThad]

Struck thru.....NICE!

Planchet error. Grease is much softer than the planchet and the dies. "Grease" has no effect on strike. "Grease" is not used on dies on the press-floor, not when I was there. Slap a spoon-full of crisco in a section of icecube tray, put a cent on top, hit it with a hammer, the grease will not protect the tray, nor the cent, clean-up with hot water & vinegar.

What you've described is nothing like the minting process. Bob has already challenged you on grease filled dies in the past and you did not respond. Please stop interjecting your false theory or start a new thread and respond to the experts in a normal way.

Nice one Bella and in great shape!

Is that a small or large "S" mint mark?

No wait, Maineman, let's humor this theory. If this were a planchet error (as in the planchet already had this low area), why wouldn't we see at least some detail in this area I see no detail in the area. Just because it's lower and farther from the die doesn't mean that it should be completely resistant to the die reaching that part of the metal.

In other words, rather than washed out or nonexistent details, we should see very low letters. They should still be sharp. Am I right?

Grease does not effect strike. Grease is soft. Dies are hard. Planchets are hard.

You're a silly, silly man. I'd recommend that you purchase some die variety reference books and stop exposing your ignorance. To so bluntly contradict some of the most experienced experts in our field shows your lack of experince and failure to educate yourself on the topic at hand.

TO EVERYONE ELSE: I'm sorry if I sound like such a jerk but our forum is getting over run by know-it-all imbiciles. If you want this place to go the way of coin talk and the CONECA forum as well as others, just sit there and watch it happen. If you love everything that makes this place great, as I do, this is your call to action. Speak up, take a stand- if we as members don't protect our home and family, nobody else is going to step in and do it for us. If you're offended by anything I've said, let me know, it may beg for an entirely new thread on the subject.

OK, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and explain it to you, but really, buy a book cents1st!

Under extreme pressure, a thick liquid acts as a solid by blocking the planchet from filling the recesses of the die. The grease is trapped in there, it doesn't squeeze out becase it's trapped against the planchet by the pressure of the strike. That's pertaining to soft grease which produces "greasers".

Another form of this anomaly is when metal dust and miscellaneous tiny debris mixes with the grease and becomes a solid through repeated strikes. This also fills the details of the die and blocks detail from being struck into the planchet. When this "gunk" falls out onto an unstruck planchet, it can be struck into the cent thus creating a "dropped letter" (look it up- I don't invent these terms)

Does that make any sense to you?

[Maineman750]

Chris, that is a good explanation but in the past it was explained and he just went away for a while....I call it "drive-by mayhem"

[liveandievarieties]

Well, is everyone else just okay with that?

[Antiquity]

Trolls should be banned, too easy, if he really wants to learn and be a part of the community then he would act like it, from what I hear he hasnt. I use to be a member of cointalk, it was a joke compared to the greatness that is LCR. Keep the riff raff out I say!

[RWBILLER]

Good explanation and if someone doesn't have a error/varaity book, ask on lcr -- someone has an extra.
