Fire New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 2:19 pm I collect wheat pennies off and on. Going through a bag of un-searched pennies I found a penny with the date of 193?. Is this a common error? Enclosed are pictures taken with a 10X Intel Play kids microscope. the close up was taken at 60X. Thanks...Jack Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 2:23 pm Looks like a 1934 cent with the last digit filled in with grease. Not a premium coin, but interesting to some who are new to the collecting field. Edited by coop 09/13/2016 2:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 9:06 pm I can see the diagonal stroke of the four. That's a nice greaser- in most cases you can make out the outline of the missing character. Report this Post to the Staff
