She’s a greaser from the looks of it on the reverse, not much of the E & S in the word "States" and almost none of the "Of" is visible. Interesting note-under close examination there are cracks on the tops of some of the letters on the reverse as well. Above the S and T, for example. The crack exposes the zinc inner core. Lousy pennies because of the materials they made them out of. Nothing beats the full copper pennies. Also it just may be my imagination, but the last 1 in the date looks a tad slightly higher than the first 1.</p><p> </p><p>Glad I found this forum and learned what a greaser is and that the zinc pennies aren’t built well.
