Nickyyy86 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 5:59 pm I have found a 1970 floating roof with no FG initials and cannot find any information besides for a 1970 D. I've sent pictures to Heritage but they the value is too low for their auctions. It does have a bit of green on the front but nothing that couldn't be cleaned by a professional. I'm just curious as to how much it would be worth. I can upload pictures if needed. Report this Post to the Staff

It can occur on any year Memorial cent as it is caused by die polishing. The TPG's won't even grade them anymore from what I understand. Pictures should always be uploaded with any question you have so we would like to see the coin in question. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96348 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 7:59 pm a cent suffering from a possible grease is not worth much, and Heritage won't take an error coin that is not certified or graded usually.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 8:31 pm to the CCF Floating roof is a result of too much die polishing. There are millions of them out there, so not worth any more than a reg coin. Report this Post to the Staff

I agree with others that there isn't really a premium on these things like an over polished die, but perhaps we will see something about your coin that you didn't notice.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96348 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 07:29 am Thanks. The first pic you posted up is nice and big (a little dark, try using better lighting), but the rest are so small, next time try to keep them all like the first one. However, with that said, the reverse is the image with the items of interest - so I'll work with what I got. It look like your coin has an over polished die. the die probably had an 'event' and the mint workers needed to clean it up a little and erased dome of the design elements. Collecting since 1972.
