MINT_MARQ Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/27/2008 1:03 pm I found a 19? Kennedy It does not look to beat up yet only "IBER" can be seen in Liberty. Only "God We TR" can be seen. The P Mint mark can be seen but only the faint top of a possible 9 in the year. The back also shows some weakness in the lettering around the outer edge. Is there an error like this around or do I have a damaged coin? And if it is an error what would be the approx value? Here are the pictures: Edited by MINT_MARQ 02/27/2008 7:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/27/2008 1:09 pm An image might help. I'm not sure what your describing. It could be damage/or anything else. With the year possibly 1999, it should be damaged unless someone vented his anger on it in the garage trying to make something the coin wasn't. It could be grease struck or another anomaly. But an image would help. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 02/27/2008 11:23 pm Thats a nice example of a half struck through a very heavy layer of grease. Grease can fill the recesses of a die and that is the result. Without a closer look, it might also be a coin struck as what is known as an adjustment strike. It could be weakly struck. The way the surface looks on the reverse, I lean toward the Grease Filled Die scenario. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/27/2008 11:24 pm Struck Through Grease and quite a bit on both sides too. I would say that it is severe enough to command a premium of some sort but not enough to giggle with glee, probably a few dollars though. Report this Post to the Staff
MINT_MARQ Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/28/2008 06:15 am Thanks for your help everyone. I was thinking it was an "adjustment strike" since both sides show weakness, even though I did not know the proper terminology for it. The Grease Filled Die Struck through sounds like the consensus though. I have since found a listing on ebay for a 1999 P that is listed with the grease description. Almost identical to mine, just with date more obvious and no weakness on the back. http://cgi.ebay.com/1999-P-50c-Kenn...63_W0QQitemZ 220206566193QQihZ012QQcategoryZ41105QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Report this Post to the Staff
