Is this a legit error if so what caused this? Got it from a box of pennies at a local bank in Alaska.

Looks like a major Struck Through Grease,but you need to put a filter on your light source...too much glare. Weight of the coin? John1

  it looks like it was Struck Through Grease. Nice find!  I have to ask, how cold is it and what part of Alaska?

I would agree that it is a major Struck Through Grease. If it was a weak strike, the RTY would not be so strong. Nice find.

Looks like a struck through a capped die example. Lot more interesting than a Struck Through Grease eddy. Nice find.

Greasy fingers I bet you miss those dark Fairbanks winters! My father lives there and every spring says he's moving that he can't do another winter. It's been ten years now lol. Thanks everyone!

Yokozuna I'm in wasilla Alaska 45 mins north of Anchorage Alaska. It's pretty warm for this time. It's around 29*.. so what does this mean exactly guys? Is this coin worth much? If it's not a crazy amount I'm definitely keeping it. I got a box of pennies from My bank definitely the best find on that one. The counter stamp Was cool too. Anyways thanks everyone for the info. Happy searching
