The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1392 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 2:48 pm Hi all, Just pulled this out of a bank box, the same one which prodouced the 2000 WAM. The first part of the date is not there. Could this be a grease-filled die or just an uneven wear pattern? Full obverse: Reverse: Date close-up: Liberty... also looks weak: Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99100 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 2:58 pm Sure looks like a Greaser to me. A very nice one despite all the wear this coin has gone through. Collecting since 1972.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 4:32 pm nice Greaser. I'd venture to say this one is missing enough to be worth a few bucks. Report this Post to the Staff
