MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 07/08/2016 8:20 pm Thanks again guys! Definitely gonna keep this one. I found it looking through some change that had been piling up in my tray. Quote: When is a scratched coin worth more than a coin without the scratch? When it is really a struck through wire mint error. While there aren't too many of these for sale on the bay, way more Struck Through Grease, they do seem to command a premium. The prices range from a couple of bucks to over $10(in sold section) Since this one is in the field and on the devices and the coin is in descent shape, would this one be on the higher end of this?

I don't think they would bring that much of a premium. I try to buy the proof nickels with the mint cello on them. Often the cello tones them a bluish color. I set these aside in 2X2's Some years have more of them in the cello. (early 1960's proof coins) Report this Post to the Staff
