I personally would only pay 50 cents for it. It's a Grease Filled Die. If there were more devices missing it would be a little more |

It's a pretty decent example of a Struck Through Grease error. It's a keeper and a good example. Good find. :) Errers and Varietys.

I don't see much, if any, premium for it as it only affects a few letters - But it is worth at least 2-3¢ because it's a Wheat cent. |

Good eye but to me it's basically a cull wheat given that stain and worth just a couple of cents. to the CCF! |

I mostly agree with the above. It is a struck through error coin, likely Struck Through Grease, and a decent example of what is a very common error. In general, minor stains and blems do not much affect the value of error coins as people are buying the error not so much the date and grade. Either way, it's got a fair premium for a one cent coin and I would value it at somewhere around $1.25. |

Common minting errors such as these are quite frequent, all are part of the manufacture of coins and because are so frequent have little if any premium values. A " Grease Fill" as stated is the process of polishing the dies to remove imperfection. A diamond paste is used and sometimes upon wiping off the operating greases, paste and debris get stuck in the die devices(reverse image remember) blocking the imprint. |
