Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1601 Posts	Posted 11/10/2016 03:26 am Is this a proof like (PL) coin? It seems kind of shiny. I agree that it was most likely struck through something, most likely grease. Or, this being a Canada dime, could be slush Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 11/10/2016 7:12 pm As stated by Apitrix the cause is a filled die, adds no real value, but does add collectible interest to an otherwise undesirable coin. Is it nickel or silver? Check with a magnet. Is it a US strike or Canadian strike? http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...ts-1965-2016 "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 11/10/2016 7:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 11/11/2016 3:05 pm I have a 1942 dime with the "2" filled with grease. No one but me wanted it and I only had to pay $3 US and it was in an ANACS holder VF30 Details (Cleaned). I personally like grease filled errors -- its one of the few errors that I can find that others have overlooked when I search a hoard of coins. Report this Post to the Staff
