kheldim81 Valued Member Finland 265 Posts	Posted 12/14/2016 10:52 am Long story short, I was going through circulated wheat cents that I bought from auction and this kind of error came up. What is this error called or is it man made? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

kheldim81 Valued Member Finland 265 Posts	Posted 12/15/2016 2:44 pm Does this kind of error add some sort of premium to value of this coin? Or atleast is this desirable error for people who collect error coins? Report this Post to the Staff

(as is the case on most error coins, the more it is catches the eye, the more interest will be shown. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/15/2017 2:18 pm What is the weight? If it is light it might be a lamination? If it is normal, then a Struck Through Grease error? I'm seeing a hint of ghosting on some areas of the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 10/17/2017 10:23 am If this coin was struck through a solid/rigid object would you expect the obverse strike to be effected somehow? I imagine there wouldn't be enough pressure applied to the obverse strike and the bust would be poorly formed. Is that a correct assumption? If so, the strike through object must have been something soft/pliable, like grease, paper, cloth, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
