Guess what? You've found a legitimate error coin! Very nice find and congratulations! It was Struck Through Grease, and it's a great example of it! It's worth a small premium. http://www.error-ref.com/struck-thr...-grease-oil/

That's a great example, congrats!

Notice how strong the rims are. That's a sign that it is more likely to be a Greaser than a weak strike or a thin planchet.

Very nice find. If it was a weak strike I think the rims would lack sharpness.

with spruett001 and John1, concerning the rims look pretty solid. If weight is within specs, I'd lean toward struck though grease as a likely suspect. Thanks, Doug.
