BrinksCoins New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 10/07/2022 8:21 pm I have a 2004 Jefferson nickel that has no date and most of the lettering is missing ... new to collecting and not sure if the coin is valuable. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 10/07/2022 8:38 pm @brin, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes that might be Struck Through Grease, but there seems to be quite a heavy amount of scratches. What does that coin weigh?

BrinksCoins New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 10/07/2022 9:24 pm Glad to be here to learn.... The weight of the coin is the same as other nickels.... used a kitchen digital scale not sure if correct but read 0.165 oz. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 10/07/2022 10:56 pm The texture seams to be excessive so I think it is acid or chemical of some kind and not Grease Filled Die. Now that is only a guess but seams logical. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/08/2022 03:46 am Acid would reduce the weight. BrinksCoins, if you plan on staying in the coin hobby you need to get a more accurate scale. One that goes down to 0.001 grams. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
BrinksCoins New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 10/08/2022 07:16 am I will purchase a better scale and check the weight again... Thanks for the advice Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/08/2022 12:54 pm Weight will tell if it is a thinned planchet issue or not. 5 grams is normal for the nickel that year. Thinned will be less than that. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 10/08/2022 3:47 pm I think it looks like a Struck Through Grease. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
