How can you tell the differences between a Greaser and a real missing FG? Thanks |

All missing FG's are either a Grease Filled Die or over abraded die. The mint did not forget to put the FG on the dies.Also,for these to be keepers there has to be no sign of the FG what so ever. John1  |

Kinda seems like Abe is missing from the Memorial Bldg as well - need a closer image of that. Usually the FG, Abe and a Levitating roof go hand in hand on a lot of them from the 1969D and 1970D Cents.

Looks like a highly polished die removing the fields. With the Statue gone and other smaller devices missing, it is a case of an over polished die. Note the bays. The look almost like they are coming out of the building. Anymore polishing and the columns will be getting thinner and the bays will get wider. Not a case of a Struck Through Grease error. Note the weakening cornice across the upper part of the building. That was typical of coins in the 1960's where that area was hubbed so deeply, that the planchet could not strike up that high. Leaving that area weakened. |

No. They are as mentioned filled dies and probably most often just like the example above. One member submitted a few to a grading company and got them back and sold them. Then set another batch and they then stopped attributing them. They didn't feel it was anything special. Just die polishing. (sorry couldn't find his quote) Here is a Quote from Bob Piazza from Coppercoins: Quote:
This is another coin that folks don't quite know why it is listed in the CPG. It is a simple matter of abrasion, but as others have noted, there must be NO trace of the initials in order to be considered the CPG variety. There are many, many different dies where abrasion has been done, but light remnants still remain. Those are not worth any premium. A quote from 'oncecent1909' from the same forum: Quote:
Unfortunately the 69 D is listed in Cherrypickers... and the 1970 D is not...
with it not being listed...
most third party graders will not list it on their holders Edited by coop
