I have lost every collection to date. Sometimes I give them away too when I see it interests a new hobby for someone. So I found this Nickel I think it is what they call a Grease Fill error I thought it looked like the Sphinx a bit so I wanted to share and get a opinion or 2. Report this Post to the Staff

Fooltraveln Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 12:59 pm The moniker seemed to fit. @Nik10 Struck Through Grease not Grease Fill strike that was the terminology I was rattling around in my hat rack for Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 1:55 pm Weight? 1. If the weight is normal it looks like a Grease Fill issue. 2. If the weight is under weight, then the coin may be altered or the planchet was under weight. The thinning of the planchet would prevent a full strike. But guessing it is probably #1.
