I don't think it carries any kind of premium. :( Here is what the experts say about adjustment strikes and grease filled dies....
IMHO Obverse looks like a very weak strike based on the lack of detail in Lincoln's hair, face and beard. It's all there but very flat looking....
Can you provide a picture of the obverse? It looks like a Type 1 reverse of a 72P.
Double sided grease covered die, if that is a possibility. I've not seen a mint error coin quite like this one. Is it possibly an adjustment strike?
Nice Nightcrawler!!
Looks like late stage die deterioration to me. Check with the experts on the Ike Group forum.
Probably Northern Lights reflecting off the Cratered Lake!:rolleyes: I think defective planchette or PMD.
FYI NGC 's definition helped me understand what to look for. WHIZZED coins have been cleaned with a fast, rotary wire brush in order to simulate...
I can't seem to find anything to document die chip in the second "S" in States. Is this die chip considered an error, variety, or ??? Any help...

Looks great, but I count 16 stars??
Nice 1971D FEV! :) [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Good news for silver collectors! :) How low does gold have to go before they lower prices?
Would you educate me, and tell me what "Bicentenial Oak &NightCrawlers" are?
Definitely a type 2. see link below. The “U over U” of the TYPE 1 is the most definitive marker. Yours is offset....
My guess is type 2. Check the ikegroup.com for more info.
I think we can all see what you see in the pictures. Opinions about what we call it are different. Send it in. A coin in hand is so different...
Congrats. Both are nice looking coins.
I don't see typical MD. Maybe die deteriation?? Look at splits on star points. IMHO
Separate names with a comma.
