 The Struck Through Grease error is fairly common and unless it's unique or well placed, generally adds no additional value. The 200 date on your coin comes close, but the 5 is still visible. Edited by CoinMasters

Does DCO mean die crack obverse? I am fairly certain that is a die crack in your picture. Someone who is more in the know on values of die cracks will have to say whether this coin would command any premium, but I'd suspect it'd be small if any. Neat Greaser, though. "Out of many... eh... never mind." |

Thanks for the replies. Yes Oijogja, I use DCO/DCR to indicate Die Cracks Obverse/Reverse. The die crack actually goes all the way through to the ridge. I need to find better lighting settings for the pictures.

Wow! That's really cool! I hope we get to be good friends on here, if we do I'll stop by. I've been on ebay about a year, I sold a coin to a guy in Newport News, I thought that was pretty neat. I'll keep an eye out for your posts, if I think I can help you I will. Since we're homeboys I'll show you an example of missing devices that adds value. It's not a Greaser, it's an over-polished die. They call this the Floating Roof.  |

What year is the Floating Roof? Have a coffee can full of pennies that my dad had, I've been adding more and more over the years. I did dump them out once and there are quite a few wheat backs.

I believe floating roof LMC cents are from 1969 IIRC. |

This one is a 70-D, but they occurred on many different years. They were over-polished in an attempt to remove a clash. The roof support area that was polished off was a narrow raised area on the die and was easily obliterated. It adds a little extra interest for some collectors as long as both sides are completely gone. Nice effect eh? Here's a nice link you might want to save for when you go through those cents. http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.phpEdited by CoinMasters

I have these for 1969D and 1970D "floating roof" I like calling it the "Levitating roof" sounds magical and mysterious. Some also have polished away ABE and the FG away along with the roof supports.
