Loco Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 8:08 pm Hey guys, I've been viewing this site for many weeks lately & have really enjoyed it. This is my first post her. I found this nickel while searching through a box of nickels recently. Can someone tell me what kind of error this is & a ballpark value? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Loco Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 8:11 pm I guess I should point out that the error is on the obverse. The end of Liberty through the date (2002)and "we trust" has been stamped very lightly. Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin (2002-D Jefferson) exhibits a relatively common error ... it has been struck through what we call 'grease' ... in reality it is impossible to identify the exact substance that caused the obverse strike weakness. Grease filled strike coins are very common ... value alas of your coin is the joy in finding it. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
