Not as avid of a coin hunter as I once was, but have been getting back into it after I introduced my fiance into Lincoln cents and paper currency errors. His joy and love for it have rekindled my love for it. Although these days my heart is in dimes. Mostly Roosevelt. Mainly Roosevelts. I am posting this for a couple reasons. First is because I find it unique and second is more for myself to help my knowledge on coins in general. Thanks for any and all input on this and appreciate the time you spend in reading and/or replying to it :) 1. Filled in lettering? Besides the mint marks that were hand stamped way back when being filled in, are there any cases of In God We Trust or the dates being filled in as well? Is it a common occurrence or? 2. Can a coin in general have an error on the obverse but have a fine reverse? Thanks again! Hopefully it find it as unique as I do. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/17/2020 12:15 pm 1a. Filled in lettering? Looks like those devices on the obverse and reverse had a little grease in the dies. When this happens the devices will look wider and shorter in height. Not a big thing, unless 80% or more is prevented during the strike. The will have full rims, just like your coin. Not a premium for this coin. 1b.Besides the mint marks that were hand stamped way back when being filled in, are there any cases of In God We Trust or the dates being filled in as well? Yes on an Grease Filled Die like yours. If the die was completely filled in, they nothing would appear where it should. If a die post was broken off the coin, the center of that device could be filled in, or even rise above the device if a piece of the die broke off below the fields. 1c. Is it a common occurrence or? Yes Grease Fill can be common. It the Grease Fill is huge then it is worth a premium. 2. Can a coin in general have an error on the obverse but have a fine reverse? Depends on what it is. Like the grease error, you can see if on both sides. If the coin was dented in on the obverse (damaged) Then you could see the other side of the coin bulge outwards. It the coin was struck through something during the strike, the one side can be affected and the opposite side may look normal. Report this Post to the Staff
