jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 04/28/2006 08:55 am Very hard to tell by the pictures... filled die or Struck Through Grease? I am very far from an expert. I would be unsure if it would bring any sort of premium. Report this Post to the Staff
morganman Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 04/28/2006 09:59 am I would need to see a much better image to say either way. Try to get a closer view of the area, not the whole coin.... Maybe was once owned by an atheist? LOL MM Report this Post to the Staff

erratic1 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 04/28/2006 2:36 pm Okay, I can't guarantee how good this pictures are but they are closer. BTW, I'm more interested in searching and finding some really cool error coins than I am in whether they would sell for alot of money or not. Just so you know what and deranged person I am.[:p] Download Attachment: IMG_1383.jpg 21.42 KB Download Attachment: IMG_1384.jpg 30.06 KB Download Attachment: IMG_1385.jpg 32.72 KB Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 04/28/2006 2:42 pm Looks like a filled die error to me,, There are collectors of the athiest type coins, some will pay a small premium for circulated examples, .50 to a buck or so .

erratic1 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 04/28/2006 2:54 pm I think I'll put a couple of quarters in a jar and keep the coin. Thanks for teaching me something new. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/08/2006 1:32 pm Your coin is the result of an overpolished die, probably to remove clash marks, and just went a bit too far. 1970-1973 are strangely weak years for the thickness and relief of the motto to begin with, and any amount of polishing make them excessively weak. An "atheist" cent refers to a particluar 1970S cent that has a Cud that completely covers the word GOD from the motto. They are rather valuable in the right market. What you have is NOT an atheist cent. Report this Post to the Staff
