A human error is still a mint error. Some are just not that special, like grease. What about letting a screw or bits of plastic get into the coin...
You have an interesting way of stating the obvious, let's put it that way.
You can tell that a coin is struck through grease, same as struck through some other object. I don't consider them valuable but others might. It's...
I've seen a lot of posts regarding people collecting the 7070 type set. So I found a list and thought I'd see how many I have despite never trying...
The subject is a struck through grease error, Charley. The TPG can tell and designates them as an error. Or was this also supposed to be 10 words...
It's not on the die and occurred during the strike.
Haha, yeah, growing up in Chicago it was equal opportunity bigotry. Irish, Italian, Polish, German, you name it, everybody gets their own slur.
You can download the spreadsheet from the article and fill in the Greysheet. Let us know what you come up with.
There's an uncut sheet of 1 5 10 baht in there too, some sort of collector thing they sold I assume. [ATTACH] Also a stack of 10 baht and a ton...

Yeah, that last one's barcode scans as a Hawaii 1883 $1 in XF45 (listing is a France 1815-A 20 francs). In fact all four of those listings have...
There is also a PCGS Morgan designated "reverse struck through grease" on Heritage so it seems they do it too, or did....
I can totally see where someone would ask that, and it made me chuckle because maybe that was the intent - it sure gets your attention. Perhaps...
Impossible to know without knowing how much they actually paid for the coins....
Why on earth would you do this to any coin, let alone an 83 you think is copper? You seem to be looking for the valuable 1982-D copper by ruining...
I think you also can't put a specific grade in the listing nor have an image of the grade on the slab. Not that they enforce it much.
Yes, please post more. Spouse also Thai. I have some more recent commemoratives that everybody there seems to have, but would enjoy seeing the...
Or prizes at a carnival.
Reading more thoroughly these posts by @Burton Strauss III and @jrg79, I trust the chart more. Numbers for early coins are in multiples of grains...
Separate names with a comma.
