    Found 2 Lincoln Wheaties roll searching that I think are grease filled die coins. After posting these pics does anyone else have grease filled Lincolns?? Would love to see other pics. Liberty kinda gone and 8 gone on the other.

    I have a bunch, I save them all. But they are in unsorted stacks all over my desk atm. Both of yours look like greasers to me.

    Thanks for the reply! I don't know if they are worth anything but cool to collect.

    I see them often fetching $5-15 high end, on the bay.

    Agreed Markus, greasers. Nice finds, always worth setting aside.

    I kinda like that word: "fetching"

    Sounds southern gentlemenly.

    A coin that is produced after the working die(s) gets clogged with debris causing parts of the design not to be transferred to the planchet during coining.

    Here you go, generally the only ones I found worth keeping are missing a lot like this one:
