Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 12/10/2018 8:44 pm Looks more like an elongated cent. Any chance of you posting non-distorted pics of this cent? In the meanwhile I agree that it looks like the die may have had some grease in it causing some of the letters and numbers to not be fully struck up.

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 12/10/2018 9:37 pm Quote: Low pressure,weak die or grease die My vote is for a "grease-filled die". I'd argue that not enough of the design elements are missing to add much numismatic value to this coin, but I'd be interested to hear what others think about that.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 12/11/2018 01:51 am It's a Struck Through Grease issue. It's not severe enough to have a premium over face value though. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 12/11/2018 09:02 am Your pictures make the coin look thin. If so, then a thin planchet could be the cause of the weak strike. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/11/2018 09:43 am Note the rims? A sign that a full strike happened. Your coin is a Grease Filled Die issue. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 12/11/2018 11:17 am Current obverse image suggests Grease Filled Die, pending the reverse and weight are normal. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 12/11/2018 11:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
