MrHaz New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 08/15/2011 10:29 pm I got another $50 bag off my banks coin counter on Friday. Set this one aside since I think it's my first "struck through Greaser"? Pulled 23 wheats out of this bag and three of those were hole fillers! Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 06:55 am Wrong obverse design style for 1997. John is correct, it is a 1991. Report this Post to the Staff
MrHaz New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 08:12 am Pretty sure it is a 1991. Can barely see the "shadow" of a number 1 when I use my 17x loop. Going into a 2" x 2" to put aside for my Grandson's collection! Bill Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 10:10 am To bad coppercoins mentioned that or I was going to say it was a real 199 Minted coin. Made by a fortue teller back in 199 that predicted the future of Lincoln. It is odd that such errors are seling for $5 to $20 at coin shows. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12813 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 10:21 am What's "struck through Greaser"? That is a very shiny cent, almost looks like it has a coat of varnish. What's with the horizontal marks above the 199? And how would that "1" be mostly missing? Possibly pounded flat? Pretty cool find. Report this Post to the Staff
wulffy11 Pillar of the Community United States 543 Posts	Posted 08/16/2011 12:55 pm I could tell it was 1991 by a faded impression of a straight line after the second '9.' It would be diagonal if it were a '7.' Now, I wonder how you could determine it by the obverse. Have there been changes to the relief of the obverse of the Lincoln Cent between 1982-2008?
