rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 2:44 pm So I'll bet these are common but, I thought I'd post some pix just the same. This coin exibits no 4th date number, none. Nothing has ever been there; it's not a filled die, just doesn't exist. Common no? Some pix: Comments appreciated as well as a possible value...as in " Should I send it in for grading". regards, mitch Report this Post to the Staff

rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 3:04 pm So the die was filled, (one digit that is...) w/ grease? Ok I see.... is it, do these sort of "errors" (kf that's what you call them) have much value? Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 3:12 pm It's a Grease Fill, and unsurprising the fill is perfect. Chances are all the rest of the grease got squeezed out by 150 tons of striking pressure. And you're right, they're relatively common but pretty interesting all the same.

BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 7:11 pm John1: Ohh, I see the 3 now too :P Maybe it will be easier for rynegold to tell the difference, having the actual coin in possession. With some of the major greasers I've seen you will still be able to read details of a very weak strike if looking under the correct light and viewing angle.
