SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 02/03/2016 1:05 pm Hi everyone, here is an interesting one If you turn the cent just right you can make out the faintest outline of a 7 as the last digit. At first I thought Grease Filled Die but then looking at the lettering, it is stronger on the obverse left while weaker on the right; the reverse has the "O" missing in One Cent and the same faint, intermittent lettering on the back. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/03/2016 1:37 pm I was thinking grease-filled die, too -- because of the randomness of the missing devices. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/03/2016 10:22 pm I'm not convinced it is all Struck Through Grease related. If possible would like to see full straight on pics of obverse and reverse. Also weight if possible. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/03/2016 11:36 pm Because of the strength of the strike in other areas, Greaser seems the most likely. Nice catch. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 4:48 pm If the rim is formed, then it is a Struck Through Grease error. If the rim was missing, then I would think a thinned planchet. But I'm seen a Struck Through Grease error on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
