I Have A Lincoln Cent....Which Is Missing The "LIB"...In "LIBERTY". I know about Grease Filled Dies...and the result. Under magnification (computer microscope) there is nothing...as though, they were skipped over, in the die making process. If that's true, is it a common error? If not, is there a value? |

If the die devices are filled with grease, then you will see no devices in the ones that are affected. The grease prevents the devices to strike up. Just a common error. When the coin gets block out about 80-90 percent, then people do take note.  Note the blocked devices. Also note the rims on the coin. If the dies devices are filled, the rim will still be present. |

Yes....I Understand About Grease....And The Effect.
But, Even So (As With Your Example(s), There Are Faint Images......This Coin Has Nothing, Where The Letters Should Be.
*I tried to upload the image, but failed.
Enlarged, there appears to be lines running horizontally, unscathed.
I'll continue to try.
Thank You...For Your Insigh.

ogled The coin you have is most likely from a Grease Filled Die and generally they do not have any premium unless it is more major like the examples from coop's pictures. Also great pictures coop. I'm beginning to wonder if there is something that you don't have a picture of. |

Neo13x, coop mentioned in another post not too long ago that he already has pictures of things that we have not even asked about yet, he is well ahead of us -
We certainly are fortunate to have him on this forum helping us out.

Agreed, I'm always waiting to see what Coop has to say.

I just checked my image host. 4830 images so far. Still got things yet more to add.

If it wasn't for your pictures coop, I would still be in the dark about a lot of errors and varieties.(Not that I've found the light yet, but I think I see it at the end of the tunnel).

I was trained with yes or no answers. I felt I would expand the information and images always seemed to me to be the best way. So when I comment on something, I give the reason why I gave that answer, rather than yes or no. (I guess I plead my case on each coin) The regular reeders are doing a good job even when I'm out for a few days. So that makes me smile.  |
