yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 10:44 pm Working on my cents from the 30s and came across this one. Is this one considered a Grease Filled Die on the word Liberty? Does anyone save these when you come across them? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 11:11 pm I would keep that one. With a couple letters completely missing and a really faint B, it's not something you'll find everyday.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 11:14 pm Not only is it a Grease Fill, it may just be a thinned planchet. The wheat feather on the reverse isn't fully formed. nor is the rim offset defined on the obverse. May be slightly underweight, less than 2.5g. Report this Post to the Staff
yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 01/31/2018 12:36 pm Thanks for the info everyone. Even though I keep all the wheats I find I'm putting this in a 2X2. I took a bigger scan of the reverse and I put it on a scale 2.9. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/31/2018 1:10 pm I agree. It is probably not a Grease Filled Die issue, but a tapered planchet issue. Note how the rim almost disappears on both sides of the coin in that area? The opposite side of the coin shows the other edge fully formed. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
