Die adjustment strike?

[jcuve]

This auction has been up for a while and as there is an interest in die adjustment strikes (and what they are supposed to look like) I figured I would get some opinions.

I think it is struck through grease on both sides...

I would have to go with your assumption either that or it has been struck on a tapered planchet.

Note: Error Type Known as Die Trail or Die Adjustment Strike

So is he trying to say that a Die Trail is the same as an Adjustment Strike??

That is struck thru grease in my opinion

I think it's a misspelling- should be "Die Trial". Not that this one is.

Interesting subject. The coin does look like grease fill for sure. I jumped over Potter's site and read what he said about Die Trials or Adjustments, and what he said made sense to me. Unless your standing right over the press and watching, there's no way to know if it's an Adjustment Strike or just a weak strike.
A couple of days ago I came across a wheatie (forgot the date) that had a very weak obverse, not just a part of it but everything, while the reverse was extremely well struck and sharp. Actually better struck than most of the wheats I've been looking at lately. I thought it unusual and mentioned it to my wife and thought to enquire about it later on.
