The 64D is the result of a partially grease-filled die, and I'm guessing that the 70D is the result of a grease-filled die, too. In either case, they aren't worth too much except to a bidiot. Chris
I was thinking that,So my question is ,every single coin, that is missing FG is a result from grease/over polished,but never a result in the mint messing it up????And if so why do people even collect this variety?
I think this will answer your question: yes, that technically means the mint messed up either way you look at it. The thing is, there is so much that goes into the minting process in terms of pressure and precision that grease filled dies are pretty common and considered acceptable (just like up to 15 degrees of rotation or 5% misalignment with dies). Now, if the FG was polished off, it would be worth a little more, but you'd need an MS coin to identify the signs of it being done by polishing. Based on your coins' conditions, I think we would all have to settle on grease filled dies, but I welcome opinions for the polishing as it would likely teach me something.
I wouldn't know were to begin loll,I will just free these little guys back into circulation, and maybe the next guy can learn what I just did ,bahahahaha
Here's a 72 D missing FG, this ones in MS ish condition. Don't think this was grease, I'm leaning toward polishing.
That's cool,to bad mine are in such bad shape,to find out weather or not it is,now would the be some kind of trace of grease of on the if it were a grease filled die?
