armjr New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 10:26 pm I found this 1991 Lincoln Cent with a missing 1. The one is faintly there and can even be seen in my crappy pictures. It also appears to be an off center strike. If this is something special I'll try to get better pics. If not I'll just drop it in the error tube... Alan Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34395 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 11:01 pm The cost of ownership for this minor Greaser is low, so you could save it until a more extensive example comes your way.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 08/27/2022 1:08 pm Grease strike throughs are very common for the most part, they're probably the most common error type besides laminations, and so only grease strikes which have obliterated large areas of the coin have any decent good added value. The exception are coin series which are rarely found with errors of any kind. Some otherwise still sell when they like yours are missing parts of the design and some like that have a following such as 2005-P Kansas "In God We Rust" quarter missing the T for trust. This error type occurs when grease gets on the planchet or die and is struck into the coin. The grease can come from any number of sources including the minting press, which has lots of moving parts that get oiled, or it could come from the planchets themselves, which historically have at various periods in time been coated with a small amounts of oil. Coin's Struck Through Grease can also have a blurry image. Sometimes the grease strike will partially obliterate the design, while at other times it will completely do so. Here is how you can resize images for posting. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...g-images.asp Another is fastone image viewer https://www.faststone.org/ I use, using CTRL+R to resize to 800 pixels or lower and CTRL+S to save in JPG. Its also capable to crop and adjust colors like brightness or contrast found on the right mouse click menu. Edited by datadragon 08/27/2022 1:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
armjr New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 08/27/2022 7:25 pm Thanks for the picture advice. I'll give it a try. And also thanks for the info on the coin. In the early years of my hobby and now, I really have no interest in selling anything. I just like looking mostly and finding something unusual is more fun. Anything that has some value (which some of the stuff that was common 50 years ago is now) I label for those who will someday have to or want to dispose of it. I hope they get what it's worth.
