sonchild Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 4:08 pm Over the last few months I found these two nickels and cent. I believe the 1970's cent is a Greaser and just want to confirm, but I don't know about the two nickels. Please give me your Two Cents. Incoming photo spam... You can see for yourself on the penny, I zoomed in on photos where there appear to be Struck Through Grease errors(?). I'm not sure about this nickel, as everything appears to be smudged. I don't think it's PMD (but I'm not sure, obviously, as I'm posting this here) because the low areas are affected just as much if not even more than the high spots. What's intriguing to me though is the rim and how it looks sort of flattened. For this potential Greaser, there's a very faint indication of a 'D' mint mark. I don't believe what looks like a 'D' mint mark to be just PMD over a 2009 no mint mark, because 2009's are mint marked with either a 'P' or 'D'.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 4:15 pm The first coin is a Struck Through Grease error. The second coin is a Dryer Coin. It was in a commercial dryer and took a lot of tumbles there. Note how the coin wraps around the rim and is smaller slightly in diameter. The third coin looks like coin contact damaged/grease issue part of the date and LIBERTY on the 'Y'. No premium for these though. Edited by coop 08/21/2016 4:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Thedeathtouch Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 4:16 pm LMC is a Greaser, that 2011 D I don't know what happened there. 2009 probably just a Greaser. Report this Post to the Staff
sonchild Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 4:23 pm Ah yes, thanks Coop, it does look like a Dryer Coin. And now that you mention it, I do see some discoloration around the rim on the 2009 in that area as well as contact marks on the 'y' in 'Liberty' and the '9'. Either way it's a 2009 (low mintage as you probably know), so I'll be keeping it. Edited by sonchild 08/21/2016 4:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
