Just another nasty looking cent that isn't an error.
I don't think the lettering would be that well defined if it had been struck through grease. I think it is more likely the coin was compressed...
Didn't like the answers you got the first time around, so you decided to post it again? :banghead:
Might be heat-related or artificial toning, but it's attractive nonetheless. ... for a Zincoln.

Wow, you stumped @paddyman98! That's saying something!
No longer my coin- now @edteach's coin. No problem. :)
