Coachk2525 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 11:05 am New to coin collecting, but inherited old coins. Found a 1944 Wheat penny with missing letters LIB in Liberty on front and the Plur on the back as well and the O in ONE. Might this be a die grease error? I've read four starter coin collecting books and this is as close as I can find to the error. In addition to working on my coin skills, I need to sharpen my photo taking skills too.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 2:36 pm What is the weight of your coin? (normal is 3.11 grams) Is that edge tapered on that area? (If so that edge could be thinner on that side of the coin if there is a tapered planchet) Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 4:12 pm As Coop says it might be a tapered plan. That would explain the weak O and AM on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Coachk2525 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 4:47 pm Coop, The weight is 3.06 I can't tell if it's thinner on the side, doesn't appear to be. Thanks for your response. I have to figure out how to respond to the person that asks the questions vs. whole group. Report this Post to the Staff
