dimer 2001 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 4:42 pm I found this penny with a very weak strike the edges are nice and clean so I doubt it is worn. at first I thought it was struck thrue grease but the cent looks to clean there are no blotches plus you can see the grain. Please let me know what you think. Is it worth grading? Report this Post to the Staff

It's very worthy of a 2x2. http://www.error-ref.com/struck-thr...-grease-oil/ Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 02/20/2019 4:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

dimer 2001 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 6:33 pm I compared it to many grease stricks however it seems tom matchn up with this image better Report this Post to the Staff
llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 6:33 pm I'd agree not a test piece just that the die was filled up with some grease or junk. Enough detail is missing to make this special. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 6:43 pm The big clue for it not being a low pressure strike is that the rims are there. On the example you posted, it doesn't have rims. With the rims, it is probably a Struck Through Grease issue: Big price difference. $10K on ebay. Your coin $10.00 max. (unless someone thinks on ebay it is worth a lot more. Report this Post to the Staff
dimer 2001 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 7:03 pm ok I got you thank you very much for the info it makes sense the edges would not be so crisp and doubled since they are adding more pressure slowly to not break the dies makes sense. thanks again. these are not really worth much . I will keep it for my self. Thanks again guys Report this Post to the Staff
