    Am I correct to say this is a greaser? Found in pocket change today. IMG_20251112_010038_369~2.jpg

    Do you happen to have a full pic.? In order to get a better view. Also, all you need is a 10x loupe. Thanks.

    Not sure. Need to see the complete coin on both sides.

    IMG_20251112_152614_444.jpg IMG_20251112_152504_665.jpg I apologize, my phone doesn't take good quality pictures and it's too big for the microscope.

    Whatever it is it’s affecting both sides of the coin. From your first photo it looked like adhesive on the coin. From these recent photos I think there was something on the die and grease is what comes to mind. Thank you for the extra photos.

    Looks like grease. Minor error, but a keeper.

    One says one thing and the other says another. Toss a coin to see who wins. Make it a Lincoln cent. :hilarious:

    When the letters and digits are missing like that it is from a grease filled die that wasn't completely cleaned out. I'll try to find mine and post a photo. I'm too lazy to take it out of the flip. I got this when they first came out in circ and at first, I didn't understand why it was in such worn shape.

    I agree. Looks like a greaser. Not a super valuable error, but cool nonetheless.

    Thanks everyone. That's what I thought, I just like to run it by you all. Nonetheless, I think it's a cool find.

    You did good in calling this coin a greaser. Please protect and add this one to your collection. :)
