ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19142 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 4:14 pm Appears to be a Grease Filled Die issue. Agree--nice example. Very 2x2 worthy. Report this Post to the Staff

EA_C New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 5:36 pm Thanks, everyone, that's exciting! Any idea what it might be worth? (What does 2x2 worthy mean?) @ijn1944 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 5:40 pm Weight. It is probably 2.5 grams. If so it is a Struck Through Grease coin. Report this Post to the Staff

I found this one in a roll of 1990 Lincolns cents back in 1990 I've had it for 30 years now. I put it on ebay a few years ago for fun starting bid $1.99+$3.00 shipping It did not sell.It's more of a conversation piece or educational coin Edited by jasper62 01/27/2021 6:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 6:38 pm I' guessing even major greasers like this are common enough that they don't fetch much of a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7015 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 10:38 pm but neat to have in ones collection. Nice find... A 2x2 is a cardboard holder that has a clear window so you can view the protected coin....Many post shots of coins while still in the 2X2s so if you keep looking you might see one Report this Post to the Staff
EA_C New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 11:02 am Oh, okay, I've seen a 2x2 before then, my husband has some. Thanks for the help, everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
