Well, I have this 1954 s Wheat penny listed on ebay and I was wondering if you could help me with the error's or variety's of the coin so I can make sure I described it correctly. Thank you CCF.

(I have a neck injury and it hurts to tilt my head that far) Anyway - this is a nice coin in decent condition. Sure looks like it was Struck Through Grease on the reverse and a few filled device elements on the obverse. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 8:59 pm The obverse and reverse looks to be damaged (post mint) by an acid bath or some sort of acidic contact. Mild exposure, but damage nonetheless. No errors, just damage. Minor Greaser on reverse and some circulation flattening. Value: 3 cents (wholesale value). Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 9:27 pm Reverse showing a bit of PIDT, Before I commit to struck though grease, can you provide the weight? Thinking the rim seems a bit weak on both sides as well as some devices. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 02/05/2023 06:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 11:57 pm Ghosting on rev, devices scraped off the obv. by a Gumball Machine. Might I suggest knowing what you have before listing anything on ebay. Edited by Cujohn 02/04/2023 11:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 04:44 am I agree with PIDT and a vending machine type damage. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 04:59 am I agree with Cujohn. As a seller, you really should know what you're selling before you list it. Just my personal opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15472 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 05:26 am Admirable that you are willing to do your research to ensure your ebay listing is accurate - not so admirable that you are doing so after the coin is already listed. Those are nice clear photos - now you just need to orient them properly and post only 1 photo of each side. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 05:58 am I still look forward to a weight confirmation before I suggest anything more. With weak strike showing on the rims and the obverse bust as well as the reverse opposite. Need this bit of info before moving forward. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 8:33 pm Weight is normal, so now thinking "die fill" or Struck Through "Grease". Thanks, Doug. https://www.error-ref.com/struck-th...-grease-oil/ Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97121 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 8:38 pm 3.1g - I think it is time for you to get a better scale. it is accurate, but for weighing coins, it is far better to have one that will weigh out to 2 decimal points. And as I stated up above, It looks like a Struck Through Grease. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
