    Error Filled Dies | 1995 D PMD? Die Deterioration? Or Greaser?

    I’m not positive however, I think it’s a grease filled die that produced this effect. Anyone care to chime in. Thanks

    I agree. Looks like grease filled dies.

      I'm not real familiar with them but the lack of depth on the rims, makes me lean towards a weak strike. It looks the same on obverse and reverse.

        I'm going with a greaser as well on this one.

        If you look at item#2 on the error ref link it says,
        "2. A weak strike will retain some, most, or all of a planchet proto-rim. The proto-rim is erased in a weak strike."

        I don't see any of the original proto-rim but I do see a well-defined rim from the rim gutter.

            Thanks for all of the input everyone. I could not come up with a clear answer with the limited knowledge I have in these matters but it was interesting enough for me to put in the keep pile.

              Its definitively a greasy strike, but also remember, it's common for ATES OF to be weakly struck due to the large amount of material needed to strike up the bust on the obverse.
