Fdock9 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 03/23/2022 7:18 pm Found this today and was wondering what happened to it. I've tried hard to see the date but honestly it's very hard to tell because what you can see looks like a stretched out mirror reflection that I cant catch on camera (or at least not with my cheap one I have lol). The last digit possibly is a 2,5,7,9. The coin also has a very smooth mostly scratch free surface, both sides. I'm thinking Struck Through Grease but I'm still a novice and I needed some help. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96477 Posts	Posted 03/23/2022 9:59 pm it's possible that this is a Grease Filled Die, but the grease would have had to be very smooth. I think the coin was gently sanded down with a VERY find wet/dry sand paper. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/24/2022 1:43 pm Well it s not a 1992. The jaw is different on the 1992: It is a Close AM, so it is 1993-2008 example of a Grease Filled Die. Report this Post to the Staff
