Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 11:33 pm Weakness at the shield top. Could this be an example of being Struck Through Grease or a piece of cleaning rag? Can you suggest how I can better edit the image if a more clear picture is needed? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 03:26 am It does look like it could be a Struck Through Grease coin. I don't see any evidence of fibers or a thread pattern in that area, so I don't think it's struck through cloth. Can you give us a full image of both the obverse and reverse? It makes it easier to identify what's happening with a coin if you can post nice clear images of the coin in question. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 06:25 am I am thinking Struck Through Grease. Looks like a minor die crack as well on reverse around 6k? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 11:20 am So if whiz & grease would not this coin still have some value? Instead of being in a dealer's junk box? I have to work on getting that yellow color out of the photo. Harsh and poor lighting control on my part. In hand it looks like copper with a bit of luster. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2760 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 12:32 pm The grease is neat but pretty common, and they aren't really collectable. I could see someone asking $5 for this on ebay and accepting a best offer of 3. Report this Post to the Staff
