Well in this case, it is a Struck Through Grease error. Good call John1. I figured the reverse was normal. A keeper coin. I'll to add it to my educational images.  Edited by coop

Nice! That's a reward for enduring the task of searching 2017 rolls.

Probably worth several normal rolls for this one coin. First Strong Grease Fill I've seen on a shield cent) |

First glance, either grease filled or die set up strike. Closer look, the rims seem fairly well formed so not a die set up, so it is a Greaser. |

Would it be worthwhile for me to get this one certified, or just keep it in my collection?

"If" you send it in use ANACS. They cost the least. If it was mine I would put it in an Ait-Tite and label it properly. John1 |

So, last week I showed this one to the guy at my local coin club who specializes in errors. He was fairly adamant that this one is a weak strike not Struck Through Grease (also gave me a five minute spiel as to why I should never again refer to them as die adjustment strikes, lol.) How can I differentiate between a severely Grease Filled Die and a weak strike error? Edited by Surf-city-NC

I am no pro but as far as I know,the die is conicle so a weak strike would leave the center very weakly struck. Also,on a weak strike the rims would be less " strong". Maybe we need Mike's input on this. John1 |

Here is a low pressure strike:  Note the rims are not formed, minor impression on the center of the coin.  Note on the blockage of grease, the rim is formed, but the devices are weak because of the prevention of the grease on the die.  |
