dunkleosteus430 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 8:29 pm I came across this coin in my collection. It is obviously cleaned/polished with Good details at best. However, I noticed that the 'O' in 'One Cent' was missing. Could this be due to wear? Polishing? Die Deterioration? Please let me know. Sorry for the low - quality photos. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 8:36 pm I agree that this cent could have been struck with some grease in the die that caused that letter O to not be fully struck.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 9:11 pm Agree, a Greaser. And unfortunately cleaned, leaving it with very little premium. Report this Post to the Staff
dunkleosteus430 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 06/05/2022 9:23 pm Thanks, that's interesting! I did notice the outline of the 'O' was still present, I just forgot to mention it. I tried capturing it on camera, but it's more easily visible in real life. Report this Post to the Staff
