Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 7:06 pm Probably a slight grease-filled die issue. Minor and very common. Edited by Coinfrog 09/29/2022 7:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96800 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 7:32 pm possible Greaser, but not too likely - we have seen this area of the Cent coins have a weak strike, due to the obverse shoulder/bust area as being a metal hog. (it takes up so much metal to form, it leaves not much to form the devices on the reverse. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 8:24 pm This is a common occurrence - either Greaser or other possibilities that have been mentioned already. It is not too difficult to find coins with missing lettering/numbers. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 1:54 pm How do we know it is a Struck Through Grease error? (Your probably wondering that now?) When a die is filled with grease, regardless of how much, the devices will look wider than normal. Note on the 'E PL'? devices. Note the 'E' is almost filled, the P and then L is where is there is less grease and the devices are starting to show the tapered top that is narrow on the devices. (The taper allows the coins to fall off the die after the strike) That is what we look for on the filled with grease error: According to how the angle of the grease is and how much, it will affect the devices different. Totally filled the device is prevented during the strike. That is what we are seeing and now, you see what I see on your coin. CoopHome: How does grease affect the strike on a coin? it prevents the strike up of the devices. more grease, less devices are seen. look for the wider base of the devices.
