salazarspanish New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 4:09 pm Hello, I happened upon an unusual Lincoln Wheat cent today. The "TRUST" in "IN GOD WE TRUST" is almost completely gone. Is this just natural wear on the coin? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 4:45 pm Yes, a so-called " Greaser", where grease has filled the (incuse) letters of the die in this area (Trust) so it did not strike up. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 6:03 pm Nah, it's a crapshoot. Hardly worth the effort and fees to list. Just set it aside and someday you'll find someone who likes this kind of thing - it is a very nice example of its kind. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 7:01 pm Nice whole word Greaser. It's nice, but it's probably not worth your time to list, pay PayPal and ebay, wrap, and ship. Report this Post to the Staff
