Hello all, Am seeing a lot of these pennies with a die filled FG, some are very light and come across some with no FG at all, Was this a common problems with the cents back then or am I really missing something here

I think I see a very light trace of the FG initials on your coin. It was a fairly common problem back then. It was etheir caused by a Over Polished Die or a Grease Filled Die.

Commonly found on 1969 and 1970. Die abrasion is one cause. Grease filled is another. Die abrasion is often accompany with a weak or floating roof line. Thanks, Doug.
