after reading about Greaser's on this forum I was looking for a little help to see if these where Greaser's or just normal wear and tear.   and after hearing about them being found in the wild I finally found my first indian head.this truly awesome!

Well, it looks like those are both zinconls, which mean abrasion that deep would reveal silvery zinc. Probably Grease Filled Dies. Wait for someone more knowledgable to respond though. Maybe even make a thread in the error/variety section. I like the 19? :D

searched $5 and got a 1919 (oldest found in roll, 1918D found in change), 1945, 1950, 1950-D, 1954-D, 1955. also a 1974-S in nice condition.I've picked out quite a few coppers with nice luster over the years, maybe I'll post a pic.
