My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 09/05/2021 9:23 pm I'm trying to figure out the year of this 199? cent because as we all know there is transitional errors and other things to look for on these coins but I am also curious as to why the word America is shaped the way it is. Is that just from the copious amount of grease it was struck through? I loaded multiple pictures with different lighting just to make sure that it is visible in hopes that you can help me figure it out. Report this Post to the Staff

My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 09/06/2021 01:08 am Strange enough I thought it was a 96. So coop, you believe that it's a 90? And what about the shape of the letters on America is that from the Grease Filled Die or is there something else that caused it Edited by My2cent 09/06/2021 01:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/06/2021 02:33 am Well they are normal sized. So that is not a doubled die either. Just a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 09/06/2021 03:12 am I didn't think it was a double die I was just wondering why it was pointy and stuff like that I've never seen one like that and the weird shape of the C and E both I just didn't know if you had maybe another explanation for it or something I hadn't thought of. I suppose I will chalk it up to Grease doing what it's going to do when it gets trapped into tight spaces Edited by My2cent 09/06/2021 03:14 am Report this Post to the Staff
