Ondiwave Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 11/18/2022 5:27 pm Hi! I have this Indian penny that all the letters & numbers are boldly struck, except the 9. It literally looks out of place. I have not found amy info on it and I'm wondering if it was over polished or something. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/18/2022 7:47 pm No apologies necessary. A grease-filled die issue simply means than some grease had accumulated in the sunken 9 numeral on the die so that it didn't strike up fully.
