When I first looked at the coin I thought it was a (1914 D) This error may have been caused by a "Filled die or Grease Filled Die errors are actually very common and occur more frequently than you might expect. These errors occur when part of a coin's design is obscured by grease or other foreign matter on the die's surface." The coin has not been altered in anyway. This is truly an exceptional find.  *** Edited by Staff to clarify topic title. Titles are important! *** |

Need a bigger pic of the obverse. Sorry to bust your bubble but grease strikes are not exceptional finds they are very common.

You do realize that is impossible as a 1914D has an Wheat back reverse.

 Now your post is more confusing.. Maybe you should have left the error in and had it struck through and the correction after. |

Slight Greaser, not an error, just a die event. Common occurrence as Bobby mentioned, no premium. Heavy greasers that obscure major features are worth a few dollars, but not minor ones. Keep searching!  to the CCF! |

Hopefully the close up will have a better view of the error. Can anyone till is this is a fill die or grease error the caused this deformation fo the numbers 9 and 4.   |

Given the photos posted, I'm thinking circulation hit(s) early in its life, softened some through years of circulation.

Looks like a smashed up 74.
When would you ever expect to see a Memorial Reverse on a 1914 anything?
Keep on truckin'.

I see a smash 1974 cent. When you talk about the grease or strike trough grease this is apply to the coins before 2002. We keep saying SOG for the coins after, but the technical reality it is that the main hydraulic shaft piston was under the normal pression and so more flow of liquid flow (which it is emulsion and cooler agent for strikes) and give an strike similar with strike over grease due to smaller pression. It is just a modern SOG.

to the CCF! It looks like the top of the 7 has been sheared and the remaining metal deflected to the South. It could have been damaged in a Gumball Machine or other vending device. Post Mint Damage - PMDThanks for posting the detail image. It really helped with our opinions of the coin. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
