Are you talking about the void in the N on the word CENT? Maybe a die issue but I don't know. Filled die maybe? Anyway the price seems ok

 

no, meant un ited states of america , on obverse, it looks to me like struck through grease?? whatchya think??

 

I just see wear , I also believe you did good as one in Fine condition is about $49 (usacoinbook.com ) .

 

It does look like it was struck through grease on the obverse.

 

i use numismedia, because the prices are lower (better for selling)..they are at 42.00 in f-12

 

Ooooh, DEF. Greaser .

 

thanks for the opinions, i went ahead and bought it..thanks guys!!

 

Yeah, the rim is intact and the rest of the lettering is sharp, I would say struck through something

 

Like the way you stick to your guns...

 

Filled die. Nothing to do with wear. His brother.

 

i try and snap up what i think are bargains, sometimes not so sure of myself though..like the other day at a coin show, met a dealer (i was set up too) and bought an off metal ms-65 jefferson on penny planchet, he had an unc indian 30% off center...i later called him, now he had 2 diff dates, so made a deal for the both 310.00.. so, when i see a deal, i pull the trigger quick...like i said, though sometimes need some assistance here and there, i am a little rusty...back 40 yrs ago was a full time dealer, just got back into coins selling and buying when the 1st stimulus checks came around..and i personally collect errors...nice to have this forum for help!!

 

yours is quite a bit nicer than my soon to be arriving one, lol

 

I enjoy stuff like this. It's possible both coins were struck with the same die.

 

just got the flyer in, it is a beautiful greaser...now i have 2 flying eagle error coins, one is a lamination and now this beauty!!! enjoy!
