Can you please tell me if this is the rare error Lincoln Cent 817770294472? If it is... can you help me grade it and determine its value?

Hi Eva - the pictures are a little too grainy for me to see doubling. It also appears that the listing has been pulled which may be a clue.

I think you might hear from those who know more than I that this is due to grease-filled dies.

OOOOH this number was just a mispelling error. I meant to type 1972 and my phone went wonky and typed a whole bunch of numbers instead. When I posted it was too late when I noticed.

I see a normal coin that has a struck through error on the reverse. The letters that are missing were caused by some grease on the die, filling those devices, not allowing them to show on the coin. The reverse side does show some lines on coin's planchet. This is cause by a poor copper mixture of the coins stock. In the early years these looked like wood and they were called woodies. The date looks like it may have been flatten a bit on the 972 numbers and the 1 on the left side looks like it was damaged on that side. The last digits may have been hit with a coin wrapper. Note how the 7 looks like the cross piece was moved upward?

Coop, did I finally found an error coin? If I did... what do I do to get it recognized, graded, registered, official, or how ever its called?
My wish is to possess a real official error coin in a fancy little packet graded by a coin specialist. Haha I just think it would be cool to one day sgow off to my grandchildren, and teach them the gistory of coins. Also like to become a serious coin collector, but first things first... learning everything I can to get in the field

Besides that, thank you for all your help, cant wait to hear from you again

When you find a valuable error coin you will know. The valuable ones are the one time happenings. A lot of die cracks, chips, breaks, Struck Through Grease errors do not deserve to be graded. They grading would cost more than you might get back for them. I know when I buy a coin, I only pay for what the coin would be in raw value. Sometimes even grading companies make mistakes. So I always buy the coin, not the plastic. Grading/varieties/errors maybe incorrectly graded. So I look closer before you buy. (Something you learn after you make your first bad purchase.)
