Grease Mold Doubling/Filled Die Doubling

Associated with filled die errors, grease mold doubling or filled die doubling occurs when the grease or other die fill material comes loose from a recessed part of the die and migrates to the flat field area, where it gets impressed into the remaining gunk that is on the die, forming a secondary image of the device that is raised on the coin's surface. So far this type of doubling has only been found on cents from the mid to late 1990's.
