can anyone estimate the grade on it being a weak strike or and off center (no or very little L) It appears to be a struck-through grease error - a case where grease has filled the "L" recessed area of the die and thus prevented its details from being realized on the struck coin. Struck-through-grease errors are very common, and do not tend to add much value to a coin when the filled/missing area is minor (such as on your Lincoln cent). I've seen minor greased-filled cents being offer for $1.00 at coin shows. In contrast, if the grease-filled area caused Lincoln's portrait to go mostly missing, you'd have something of real value!

So I searched around a little more and that coin is q known variety ...it went to auction at ms 65 red n brought 180$ ....personally I think mine looks better then the one thats graded. Here is the registry # n header :  Let me know what ya think also I see alot of these guys posting quarters and other denominations with mint errors like on those quarters n seems they arent even that great. Whats the differnce in theirs being worth money and mine being not? |

 If someone paid $180. for that coin they paid $179.99 too much. It is a common over polished die. Your dime and quarter spent some time on a parking lot. They are just damaged. Stick around on this site and do some searching. You will learn what to look for, and what to throw back. Good luck. I will refer you to Coops post "damaged coins are not errors" in the error forum. He tells it better than anyone.

Whenever you have a indentation the metal has to go somewhere, it doesn't just disappear.

It will get more attention and better replies.  It's difficult to comment on a multi-coin post without having to go back and try to figure out what coin each comment is about.
