glim New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 4:41 pm Hi guys! Found this CA quarter with a faint G and T in the "In God We Trust" and I'm wondering if this can be considered (greased?) error or not. I can still read a faint G and T but my eyes aren't trained and I still don't have the experience. What y'all think? * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark to Title.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 9:37 pm 2005 seemed to be a big year for greasers, the 2005 Kansas State Quarter "In God We Rust" Error is usually what people find (on the obverse) and sells regularly while yours is also a 2005P California.This type of error you likely have is called a Struck Through Grease filled die (or just "filled die") error." as mentioned. Grease strike throughs are very common for the most part, they're probably the most common error type besides laminations, and in the past normally only grease strikes which have obliterated large areas of the coin have any decent added value. The exception are coin series which are rarely found with errors of any kind. An example would be a 5 oz America the Beautiful coin, which is a series rarely found with any type of errors. But even for a coin like that, the strike through needs to be fairly large to really add much value. At the moment all these grease strike throughs including the minor ones are however generally selling for a small premium despite some being quite common, and some are more popular than others such as the in god we rust mentioned, and obviously when enough is missing to entice some of the more serious collectors is where the values tend to be higher. So yes its a keeper and/or a minor seller but less so because the letters arent completely missing. From Coop: If it is a Struck Through Grease error, the the devices will be wider than normal and weak looking. http://goccf.com/t/438514#3774297 Edited by datadragon 04/18/2023 9:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
