Hi All, first off sorry about the poor pictures, I am not in possession of the coin and am thinking about buying it From someone amd these are the only pics I have. Has anyone ever seen an Indian Head cent with this type of error? It looks like the letters on obverse fade out and dissappear with no signs of the date. Possible strike through error? Think this has any value? Thanks as always!!

Struck thru grease, but not all errors add value, like this one.

It is very cool, Coins4ourkids, but I wouldn't pay a whole lot for it.

The reverse is the reverse of the 1859 Indian head. The reverse was only used for the first year of the Indian head series. I don't think this coin has any error coin value.

If the seller really wants to sell this coin and thinks it's a legitimate mint error...he should provide better photos. Otherwise walk away.

Without better photos, I'd pass on it.

Well you know its a 1859. Looks to be a Grease Filled Die error. If cheap enough I'd buy it just for the heck of it..
