A quarter at most?

(I don't have an exact answer for you, but if a friend offered it to me because they knew I collected coins, I'd pay a quarter for it and put it in my varieties & errors box for a rainy day.)

 

this is why people stop collecting it takes too much time and the return is next to nothing ,i no its a hobby but like everything things change,people better off collecting dirt at least you can use it to plant something and watch it grow

 

Well, that's not true. I'm just one person, and maybe I don't really collect struck-through grease errors. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Maybe you might just do a little reading on which types of varieties and errors currently (and traditionally) have greater value.

And as soon as I have a house I plan to have a Victory Garden...so yes, I will be better off planting stuff and watching it grow.

 

I have some friends that became rich by selling dirt.
I just collect coins for the fun.

 

I think you could get a buck for it.

 

If your looking to get rich fast, I would suggest looking elsewhere. I collect to, well... collect, and I want something that'll last my entire lifetime, not a fad.

*looks at my old pile of pogs*

 

yes this coin will make me rich and famous

check out this one like mine

 

Notice he is also selling copper rounds for $6.00. You can ask whatever you like for your coins. Seems to me I remember someone asking 7 million for an 11 cent piece.

 

Here we go again!

 

Well I thought the puking Lincoln was cool...No time to check the eBay links...

 

People on ebay can ask whatever they want , doesn't mean they're going to get it .

 

Never count on asking price in the eBay listing, use the sold listings for a more accurate value.

 

First off, a struck through grease is not a rare occurrence, it does happen more frequently than that.

Secondly, you should know that anyone can ask anything they want for anything they have. That doesn't mean it will sell for that much.

Here's a link for an eBay search I just did, Lincoln Cent Struck Through Grease Error, for completed listings.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...oln+Cent+Struck+Through+Grease+Error&_sacat=0

Notice the majority on the first page have red prices next to them

Something like this is really what someone who collects these strikes is willing to pay you for it. Could be $.25, could be $1-$2.

 

great i am keeping mine then,,cheers

 

I'd say a struck through error like that is worth $3-10. Some error collectors go crazy for them. I like that piece & would add it to my collection, but it's not a gold strike by any means.

Neat though & thanks for sharing it here!

 

Here is my 1970s greased. It's actually brown but I had to mess with the settings so I can see it better.

 

Too bad it's not a small date

 

Seems like it has been altered, or really worn.
