As the title indicates I found these two together and was pretty pumped about it! It's tough to get a handle on the desirability and value of the one with the date that was struck through Grease. Greasers are common but I haven't seen too many with the date completely gone. Any ideas on what something like that could be worth? This Lincoln Memorial Cent has a close am and is made of copper clad zinc. Judging by the rest of the devices I'm thinking it has to be anywhere between a 93 and a 96 for the year minted.
The mint mark appears different because of the angle I took the photo see if this one is not a better match. Also markers on the reverse are a match.
One can think all they desire but thinking won't make it reality. Grease or other debris when it was struck. Period.
Been confirmed already, but thanks for your feedback. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=360209
The OP posted a "side-by-side" of the date. I guess it could be a later die state, but the inside of the loop of the "6" is different, and so is the inside of the top loop of the mintmark. Chris
