Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 04:54 am I agree that its grease filled. I can't say I have ever seen one that covered the date like that and I really think its cool Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 05:22 am I agree with Grease Filled Die and a very nice one at that. I would put it in a 2x2 for sure, congrats. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 11:23 am Wert, the areas you are pointing at are much too high to be where the date would be. the date on a cent is about midway between the point of the bust and the bowtie, or just about where you have the word "number" on your image Report this Post to the Staff
wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 11:28 am Sorry Conder101...Not too familiar with American coins...Just throwing in my 2 cents...Won't do that again... P.S. - But it does look like a date, doesn't it... Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 12:04 pm Very amazing Greaser to not have the date visible. Try looking below what you have under magnification. The top of the date is usually just below where the bow tie is, if you look horizontally to the right.

backatit New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 03/22/2012 3:42 pm Wow, I thought everyone would have said PMD but thats why I put it on. lincon is a little worn and I thought it had something to do with it. Is there a way to upload hi-res picts so you can see better. I can have my daughter take beter picts... if we can find it Report this Post to the Staff
backatit New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 09:23 am Ok so we finally found it. We took a closer look at it and there seems to be filled letters all over. See bleow and let me know your thoughts. I cannot capture it in the microscope but inthe sunlight at an angle I cna make out the 1 and the 9 and I belive a 9. Can any one narrow down the date better from the rest of the coin. I'm also including a 1959-D that looks like a Cud to me. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 10:21 am Is it me or does the top part of his hair/head seem flat? (Flathead Abe?). How come I never find things like this - I am so jealous right now! Report this Post to the Staff
backatit New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 10:22 am Cant be a 4 as its a memorial reverse. The line deffinately looks like a 6 Report this Post to the Staff
backatit New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 10:24 am The cameo seems very week for an old coin. it does appear that his head is flat. Thats one reason I tossed it back into the buscket, I though it had been sanded/rubbed/filled down. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 11:13 am The head is also weak from being struck with an obstructed die. The 1959D has a large delamination peel. Report this Post to the Staff
