Hinkle Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Hello again, so does grease die count for just Lincoln alone or does it have to have the lettering or date in with it for to be a struck through. I have went through so many photos on line but can't find any. This coin only has faded parts on Lincoln, such as his lips ,nose ,neckline and parochial bow. And the out line of the Lincoln portrait. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Edited July 10, 2020 by Hinkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Struck through grease can appear anywhere on any coin but in the case of your Lincoln, I would say that the weakness was caused by an overpolished die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you greenstang, the over polishing die was my other assumption. Cool, good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
