Oh and just incase I did weight it, and its coming in around 2.5 grams from what I can tell, so nothing really unusal in that aspect of things. I just doubt its a mint error cause most errors end up being PMD, so I'm just curious whoever or whatever did this to the coin, without causing much damage around the rim of the coin, or maybe they were just really creative with some acid? |

 looks like maybe a '97 [just think! Last Century!!] The bust is nicely struck, though. It looks almost - but not quite - entirely unlike A. Lincoln. Edited by Biedercoins

Just explaining what they said. First off, I agree. Second, a Grease Filled Die is pretty self explanatory. It's when grease, oil, water, or some other (usually fluid) gets stuck in the die. This results in the dulling of certain features on the coin. In this case, the date. |

I agree with a Greaser. As said before, there is a grease that lubricates the dies that prolongs their life. Sometimes the grease is not fully removed from the die. So as it strikes it prevents some details from getting struck |

It is a Struck Through Grease error. If it were sanded down, the raised areas would have removed the plating and look gray under the plating. But it wasn't sanded. It is a Struck Through Grease. Some devices had more grease than others, so some show up as slightly taller than the others. (less grease in the devices, will show taller devices) If the devices were level full, then the devices would almost be blocked out entirely.  |
