OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 09:54 am Found this in supermarket change yesterday night. The last T in Trust and the last 9 in the date appear to be missing most likely from a Grease Filled Die? My second 1909 found in change there in 2 years they have huge coin dump machine and located next to massive retirement community. dump sock drawer change might be the reason.

gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 10:35 am Sly - The Lincoln Cent was introduced in 1909, so any 190? has to be from 1909. :) That is an interesting coin, looks to be struck through, but I will wait for the experts to chime in.

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 1:20 pm Very nice find O-F. Not too often you can find a missing number in the date and still know when it was made! The missing T is a nice kicker too. The missing devices look like all grease to me, I don't think wear had anything to do with them.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 1:48 pm Looks like it is a Struck Through Grease and the coin has been way over cleaned through the years. (in a bad way) Report this Post to the Staff

gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 8:36 pm Hey guys, we are assuming it is a "P" coin... Could be an S that is Struck Through Grease error. :) Off to list a few "error" coins on the bay... Of course I am kidding. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 11:18 pm Now that you mention it Gymcoachdon, maybe what O-F has there is a 1909-S-VDB! Report this Post to the Staff
