Thetukkenrowl New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 9:56 pm Hello, I was curious if someone might know if there are many of these around, and what might have caused it. the 1 in the date is barely there Most of the LIBERTY is blurry and the IN and the ST in TRUST are as well. The reverse is normal. Many Thanks for any help. Report this Post to the Staff

That caused the missing features and overall soft appearance. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 10:03 pm What you have is a partially Grease Filled Die, commonly known as a "greaser." They make for a great conversation piece, but not a great deal of added premium I'm afraid. The heavier the grease, the more value (in general terms). to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/22/2020 12:04 am I wondered if this was a polished die issue, but the 'IN' was the clincher that this was not the cause. It is a Struck Through Grease error [u] Report this Post to the Staff
