DMN Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 03/10/2022 7:22 pm @ Coinfrog Thanks! That's what I figured. A few years ago I found a 1997 partially greased on the numbers 1997. It was a really nice one but I think this one is a whole lot cooler! Report this Post to the Staff

DMN Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 03/10/2022 9:44 pm That was my other thought also like with the whole floating roof thing. Because I saw something in that neck area that looked like it had been polished over but I just went with the Greaser because it looked very similar to my 1997 penny which was agreed to be a Greaser.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/11/2022 10:57 am If it is over polishing the 'Y' will be smaller as well. If it were a Grease Fill, the 'Y' could be flat looking and wider looking. Edited by coop 03/11/2022 10:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
