May041 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 12:19 am Hello Everyone! I found this penny and it looks like it is missing the "LI" in Liberty and the last part of the date. It looks like it should say from 1993 except the "3" is missing. Am I looking at this correct or could it have just came off somehow? The back of the penny does not have any errors that I have seen as of yet. Report this Post to the Staff

It can help tell a lot about any issues you may think there are with a coin because of possible markers that are already known for a particular issue or because certain events that occur on one side of a coin cause certain events on the opposite side. This coin is more than likely the result of a grease strike through. " Greaser", meaning that grease that eas on the die for the purpose of helping the blanks it stamped to release and not get stuck, got stuck in certain details of the die, like the last digit of the date or the LI in Liberty, and didnt allow metal from the blank being struck to fill the voids and so left the grease filled parts blank Report this Post to the Staff
