John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/20/2020 04:41 am FG is plainly visible and it is MD not a doubled die reverse. The die crack you speak of looks more like die scratches which is all over the reverse of your coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

westnlas Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 11/20/2020 5:36 pm It may be a "Struck Through" error. Although Grease Filled Dies are somewhat common, it is something worth keeping. The Kansas 25c that has the filled "T" reads "In God We rust" indeed has value for collectors judging by the ebay prices. However, I pulled an 88 cent I have with no FG, and believe it an abraded die. The scratches on mine show no evidence of a strike through. I cannot tell from your pics, but suggest filing it for future. If you happen to find another, send the best one in to an expert. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 11/22/2020 01:31 am Not a struck through error. Whether it is worth keeping is up to you. If you are a new collector, then sure, keep it. westnlas, please make a topic on it rather than speaking of it on another topic. Report this Post to the Staff
