Stallstall New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/02/2018 04:02 am Hi all! New feller here. Just started paying attention to coins. Found this one that what I think is a 4 is barely visible on date. Is this something of value or am I just hopeful? Report this Post to the Staff

Second, while I can't tell by your pic whether you have a cent from 2000 or 2004, it is most likely that this coin was struck from a die that had some grease in the crevices for the last digit in the date. No numismatic premium for this minor error. The surface staining makes me wonder whether the copper plating has broken down exposing the zinc core. I'd spend this cent before it really starts to disintegrate.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2018 1:23 pm Looks like a spender. The damage on the coin voids any potential error. The strike was normal, damage happened to the coin. If the last digit was there, it is removed. If it wasn't there (because of a Struck Through Grease issue) the general condition of coin void any premium. Spendable. Report this Post to the Staff
