coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/30/2022 11:55 am That one is a 2003 cent with a partial fill of grease in the last digit. (2001-2003 had the wider devices) It appears the die was wiped down with a cloth because of a grease issue and filled the outer devices on both sides of the dies on some of those devices.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/30/2022 12:52 pm Grease filled die(s) seems plausible. But something about the weakness on the obverse that corresponds with the weakness on the reverse. Including both sides of the rim did not strike up fully in the same region, makes me wonder why. Is the weight normal or maybe a minor tapered planchet? Thanks, Doug. http://www.error-ref.com/tapered-planchets/ Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/30/2022 7:25 pm 2.5 grams is normal weight for a zinc cent. 3.11 for the copper planchets. 2.7 grams for Steel cents. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2022 12:36 pm 99% of incuse marks on a coin, was not a mint error, but a post strike damage issue from another coin. Note the metal is pushed in a direction? That means it happened after the strike, not during the strike. 1% of the rim it is a mint error. But moved metal in a wave pattern is always post strike damage. Report this Post to the Staff
