Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6997 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 01:47 am Looks like 1990 to me...the "I" and "0" devices on the die had most likely been filled with a small amount of grease. Report this Post to the Staff

Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 02/19/2021 10:10 am Follow questions regarding this type of coin. Is this technically an "error" if the light strike is the result grease build up or is there another term to use? How would I know if the most right "9" is not from "over polishing"? Grateful for all those who know about how dies are supposed to work... Thanks in advance. Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff

Looking at the coin, you can see other isolated areas such as the "I" in Liberty and the bottom of the word "IN" that are also missing. These would be from a grease or other substance partially filling the Die. If it was due to overpolishing, there could not be isolated areas letters because when they polish a die, the whole die is polished affecting the shallowest spots on the die. In order for the 9 to be missing, as it is a deep spot on the die, practically everything would be missing. Report this Post to the Staff
