EM55062 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 06/13/2019 8:18 pm Hi guys, I'm a newbie here wondering about a possible error on a 1982. The obverse is very flat. I cannot make out a mintmark and the "In God We Trust" is barely visible. The reverse is very clear though. FG and Abe Lincoln are both visible. There is a clear rim. I was wondering if this was a Greaser and if so, perhaps an estimate on the worth? It has very nice toning too. With gratitude, EM55062 Report this Post to the Staff

Second, yes I agree that with those nice rims, it appears as though much of the obv die was clogged with grease when this was struck (as opposed to being damage or odd wear).
