I was going through my collection and came across this Lincoln Cent that I pulled from a bank wrapped roll a number of years ago. I believe it is was struck through heavy grease, but would welcome other opinions. Dave   Edited by dmg1969 10/28/2022 8:34 pm

It does seem that way @dmg. Can you please confirm that the weight is in spec? Thx.

@Spence, unfortunately, I do not have a scale that measures in grams. I have one that I use for candlemaking, but that measures in increments of .10 oz. Assuming it would weigh in spec, which I'm sure it would, would that degree of a grease strike command a premium. Or is it more of a fun find and keep it in my collection?

Yes worth setting aside in a 2x2 until you purchase an appropriate balance. The rims are intact and it looks like Struck Through Grease, but always good to confirm that weight.

Nice Greaser! You don't usually find them with so much grease, [up@]

The first clue for a Struck Through Grease error, it the wider devices. The upper devices didn't for because of the Grease Fill on the die:  I would save this one. There may be a premium for it to the buyer.

 to the CCF That is a nice one. Ck ebay for price. I would think it's a 10-to-20-dollar coin?

I wanted to update this thread. I did buy a gram scale and the coin weighs in at 2.48 grams. I will also post a few better pics of the coin out of the 2x2. Dave
