Your coin is worth face value. http://www.error-ref.com/struck-thr...-grease-oil/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 4:02 pm The main difference between a Struck Through Grease and an over polished die is that grease fills the skinnier tip area(low point on the die) which makes the devic/letter wider than normal. Polishing removes the metal making the devices shallower, hence thinner than a normal letter. Edited by Crazyb0 06/22/2018 4:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Polishing removes the metal making the devices shallower, hence thinner than a normal letter. I'll remember these two differences, when trying to determine which error my coin has.
