Vintage Gal New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 3:11 pm Lurker here, I took up searcing for error coins as a way to relieve stress. Despite having zero success in finding anything of importance, the hobby has worked wonders in terms of having an outlet to decompress. Having said all that, I think this might be a Struck Through Grease coin? I've searched for comparable examples from the same year but haven't come across anything. Thanks!

Vintage Gal New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 3:52 pm I added an additional pic.. for some reason when I resized the images they lost a good bit of sharpness/pixelation. Edited to add: Yes the weight is 3.1 grams. I'm excited to have identified issue correctly. Lol Edited by Vintage Gal 08/21/2022 4:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19209 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 4:17 pm We saw a coin very much like this a couple days ago...? I believe the sense was that it was possibly a Dryer Coin. Could we get a close-in shot of the rim at an angle--trying to get sense for the nature of the rim. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Vintage Gal New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 8:22 pm I took a few more pics as someone had asked about the rim at an angle. And yes the gram weight is appropriate. What you see below shows far greater detail than what you can see with the unaided eye. The reverse is wavy where the the fields are flat in areas and prominent in others. What I find amusing is that Abe in his chair is about the most sharply defined Abe I've seen on any LMC . Interesting penny and I shall put it in a sock drawer for safe keeping. Thank you to the folks who answered my questions today. It's been educational and much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
