Definitely worth saving in a 2x2. Nice find!

I've not seen a Struck through a capped die on the Shield cents yet. Not sure what side it would be on? But this is just a Struck Through Grease issue. Note the rims on your coin. They are the normal rounded rims. On a struck on a capped die, the rims are more saucer like:    Edited by coop

What a great Greaser! I am blown away by just how much detail is missing, that's so cool! |

Thanks for everyone's comments. The rim on both sides have nice defined edges.

Ok my coin people. I recently thought this was a Greaser but after further investigation found out it's a Die Adjustment coin. Strike through coins only affect one side of the coin. Die Adjustment coins affect both sides because they are used only for strike pressure then disposed of but occasionally get out.   |

Strike through coins only affect one side of the coin. That is incorrect. If you have grease on the hammer die & the anvil die you end up with missing design & devices on both sides. Quote:

Coop and other members have already told you what it is in the other thread you posted about this coin. It's a Grease Filled Diehttp://goccf.com/t/392689Edited by jasper62

As others have noted, if it were a die adjustment strike the very first area to lose definition would be the highest points of the coin, namely the ear of Lincoln. On this coin that area is the most well defined.
