coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/07/2011 11:25 pm It is a Grease Filled Die, and it is a 1992. This is an example that's worth a modest premium value because of the overall coverage lacking detail. A couple of dollars. Of interest might be the fact that it can easily be detected as NOT a very weak strike for two reasons... 1. The highest points of the design around the hair and ear are filled in. This would be the LAST place to expect detail in a weak strike. 2. The rim is complete. Almost ALL greasers have a complete rim. Very weak strikes will have a very weak rim or none at all.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/08/2011 2:50 pm The US is NOT the only coin that mints Grease Filled Die coins. I have seen a number of them from other countries, especially countries that don't have much in the way of quality control. Report this Post to the Staff
