<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 466998, member: 5233"]It sounds like a grease filled die. What happens is, when the coin is being made...sometimes grease gets in there and clogs up some of the features on the die (the part that strikes the blank metal planchet and makes the coin). It's very common for grease to get on the die and cover up the date, Liberty, ect... It's kind of cool, but doesn't really cause an increase in value. Here is an example of one. Again, its a neat find...but it really is common.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/2001-zoom.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
