Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 7:31 pm Reverse pictures please? It's a zinc plated cent, but the bust design is not the current one, so all I've got now is 1983-2008. Depending on the reverse, we can knock it down to 1983-1988, 1989-1992, or 1993-2008. Maybe get a closer obverse picture too? There may be differences that I'm not recalling off the top of my head that I'll recognize on sight.

cldague Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 7:53 pm Here is the reverse of the 19? The bright spot keeps me from getting any closer on the front no matter how I cover it from light, or turn my lens? Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 9:00 pm Close AM, so 1993-2008. I think that's the narrowest range I can get. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 10:12 pm Cldague, a Greaser is where when the die is polished to prolong usefulness. The polishing compound(and any other stuff) gets lodged in the recesses (image is reversed on die) causing those areas to close off, become shallower. When stamped multiple time that crud gets pretty well packed in hard, letters and numbers disappear or fade. As you can see, happens on both sides! Report this Post to the Staff
