Sid1776 Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 3:44 pm is this a grease error? Report this Post to the Staff

Justinokay Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 3:49 pm I don't think so because usually grease error creates a fade/ low relief design on the whole coin or most of it but this one only has the 1 with the "fade" Edited by Justinokay 03/26/2017 3:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 3:55 pm I would say Grease Filled Die on this one. I just found a similar cent (1998) that only has the last digit of the date obscured as well. Some of IN GOD WE TRUST is missing from mine, but yours doesn't seem to be lacking any other obverse detail. How does the reverse look? Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 4:21 pm I still think it's a Grease Filled Die error, but a minor one. Maybe someone else will chime in. Report this Post to the Staff
Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 4:40 pm I think as long as the device can be seen it's not rare or note worthy,But I could be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 5:10 pm I think it's a weak strike. The rim is a mess and the back of Lincoln's head looks wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 5:28 pm I vote for Grease Filled Die. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 6:24 pm I will defer to your expertise, John1. You've looked at millions more coins than I have. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 6:27 pm It is a partial Grease Fill on the die. (minor) Even the slightest amount of grease will prevent the coin from forming on that area. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 6:54 pm Interesting to note are the die scratch patterns, indicative of a polished die, that actually run over the faded 1. Grease filled most likely w/ polishing compound. Report this Post to the Staff
