3 W's in one box! It's been quite a while...

Went to a Chase I don't get to very often. But the teller knew me.
She said she grabbed a box that's been sitting in the vault for a while...
I think I'm averaging maybe one W per every 10 boxes or so at this point.
Haven't gotten 3 W's in one box since probably 2021.
Also found a fun heavy greaser, although unfortunately it's got the ring o' death.

even with the roller ring, it's a great find
no trace of the mm?
Wonder if the "greaser" might actually be a "Weak (Low Pressure) Strike" or "adjustment strike" which might be more valuable if the price guide below has any accuracy.
It looks very similar to the first photo in the first link.

Congratulations on the W's but they look heavily circulated unfortunately.
Cool, I'm glad to hear some one is still getting a few 👍
I got two in my last bank box.
Thanks!
Nope, I see absolutely nothing.
Cool thought...I have genuinely no idea how to diagnose that vs. heavy grease.

The lowball W's will become more valuable than the gems as years roll by
Could be a die adjustment piece as the reeding looks to be non-existent.
What? Please explain. 🤪
Well that's correct, see pics... And, thank you for offering a possible identifying characteristic.
Thanks to what I've learned in this forum I understand why that could be a helpful diagnostic.
Now I want to learn even more about adjustment strikes.

I'm really so very curious now...heavy grease or adjustment strike?
Not sure who else to ask directly, so calling @FredWeinberg please...

Excellent finds!

I’d say that last quarter is a die adjustment strike.
Sweet!
Thank you Fred!
