    Ive bought and sold many struck through grease state quarters as well as a few presidential dollars.
    The state quarters are easier to find and dont go for much anymore. I sold one for $100 about a year ago. Know somebody who claimed to get over $200 for one. I have this one up on the cheap right now. DSCN8551.jpg DSCN8555.jpg

    Well, there not going for much anymore. Since NGC wont acknowledge a grade, or even acknowledge its uncirculated condition, I wouldnt send them in for grading. I have mine up for 40 right now and not even 1 watcher so....

    Here is a nice Canadian 1982 Constitution nickel dollar, with a large strike-through on the reverse.

    Ok, new guy, dumb question, what is "struck through grease"?

    When a coin is struck by dies, sometimes foreign material can be stuck in between. Grease seems to be present on the dies often, and under the extreme pressure of the dies, a liquid can act as a solid, clogging up parts of the die, and prevents the coin from receiving a full strike. It is common to see weakness, and sometimes full on omission, of the motto or parts of the design on a coin.

    Hi! I am the owner of this quarter now, Won it on EBay a few days ago. Saw this post and could not believe it was the same NGC number slabbed coin!

    Pretty neat to find another person that owned the same coin, isn't it?
