Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 05/29/2022 02:08 am @abe, first welcome to CCF. Second, while TRUST may have been lightly struck, I also think that there has been some mechanical damage in this area during circulation.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/29/2022 02:12 am Pics are not real clear but it appears there was a die issue (possibly grease filled) and a lamination in the same area as TRUST. Also a slight broadstrike is apparent on the reverse although that is not in the same area. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/29/2022 03:29 am When I see the first 'T' missing in 'TRUST', I am always a little suspicious, thinking either a Grease Filled Die, or a coin that may have been tampered with, but when I see the whole word missing, I am much more inclined to consider the possibility of a Grease Filled Die. In fact, with coin pictured, the '6' in the date is also faint, and so lends more evidence to support the postulation of a Grease Filled Die. Abe's effigy is also rather indistinct, when 'LIBERTY' and '19' and the mint mark are not. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97257 Posts	Posted 05/29/2022 08:55 am looks like a Grease Filled Die around the rim on the right side from about K-12 to K-4. Possible slight lamination where 'TRUST' should be. But I don't think that it is broad struck - the rim is too well formed. The reverse also looks weak in the same areas. As Makecents said - possible thinned planchet. Can you post up an image of the side of the coin? along side a normal one for comparison? Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/29/2022 4:19 pm Note the location on the reverse. Note the wheat stem on the right wheat stalk? Check the weight. If it is under weight, then it maybe a tapered planchet. If the weight is close to normal it maybe a Struck Through Grease. But the weight would be helpful to see what it is?
