JohnDeVito Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 08:43 am I have a couple grease filled strikes from the mid 80's with the word "oF" completely missing. I don't think they are worth anything, but I just thought a completely missing word was interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 09:44 am I have found that area (the OP coin) in particular one of the most common places for the grease. I just toss them back unless they are 82 or earlier. If I find ones on the Obverse I always keep those because I don't get them too often. If a word is missing completely like JohnDeVito mentioned I would keep those as well. Missing whole words are good finds. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 1:26 pm That area is frequently found with strike weakness because the shoulder is the point of highest relief on the coin, leaving little metal to fill the opposing reverse die detail. Report this Post to the Staff
