Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 01/09/2025 9:24 pm Can anyone determine what the date of this cent is? It doesn't look like the last digit was removed post mint to me, but would that be possible? It has little "blobs" of metal (very technical term) all around and is weird.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74095 Posts	Posted 01/09/2025 9:26 pm It's a minor Greaser. I'm thinking it's from 1991. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 01/09/2025 9:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 01/09/2025 9:54 pm Yes a little bit of grease in the die prevented that last digit of the date from striking up properly. Could be a number 1 like @e&v suggests above.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 01/10/2025 5:01 pm Could be wrong, but think I see the outline of a five. 1995. Thanks, Doug. edit: in the 2nd image. Edited by Halo1st 01/10/2025 5:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8750 Posts	Posted 01/10/2025 6:15 pm Nice find, Gigi2! E&V nailed it early on, it's from 1991. Because of the WAM reverse, that narrows it down to 90, 91 or 92. When you look at the neck, you can eliminate 92 because it looks totally different and then the final nail in the coffin, the subtle difference in the tie. They changed the tie from 90 to 91, the 91 has a flat outside edge that I have pointed to and the 90 has a little curve in it. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 01/11/2025 10:29 am Wow! What good info. If I ever need to solve a mystery, I'm coming here. Great detective work. . Thanks to all . Thought I had found another good Greaser, but I'm sure this one is 2001. Edited by Gigi2 01/11/2025 10:43 am Report this Post to the Staff
