Chris1974 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 08/26/2024 10:41 pm Found this one today. Looks to be a grease struck error coin. What do you think and does it have any value? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 08/27/2024 12:20 am There's an awful lot of missing devices and crinkly fields. Greaser is likely, but is struck through a very late stage die cap also a possibility? Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 08/27/2024 3:48 pm Should be worth a small premium (several dollars) to someone who collects these. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10485 Posts	Posted 08/27/2024 4:03 pm Looks like a Greaser....... Report this Post to the Staff
Chris1974 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 08/27/2024 7:32 pm So it's worth about $5 to $10? Found this dime going through a friend's coin jar. I also found a 2000 LMC Wide AM in the same search. Just wanted to see what the difference was searching through random change you get verses coin roll hunting. So far I think the chances of finding errors or varieties are about the same. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 08/27/2024 9:26 pm I know I'm relatively new at this, but that dime just doesn't look right for a Greaser. The reverse elements aren't even completely lined up correctly, and the rim isn't fully formed. Does debris in device cavities stop rim formation? The fields are blistered and bubbled, does that happen in a Struck Through Grease? It's probable that I'm wrong, but this seems unlike many greasers that I've seen so far.
