Struck through grease penny?

I am guessing that is struck through grease?

Always post pictures of both sides. Full clear pictures. We need more information that that.

 

That area of the penny almost always has issues like that for certain years.

 

Seems to be,yep.

 

looking at the surface it could be overexuberant die polishing, with damage coming in from the right. or a lot of grease.

But without in-focus, complete images of the front and rear we'd never know.

For instance, a rim cud could take metal away from forming on the opposite side of the cud. But, one wouldn't know that without seeing both sides in full.

Many times, seeing both sides, allows one to include or exclude certain minting issues. Certain issues are common in certain years too .. but this photo doesn't include a date. So .. who really knows for sure ??

 

Thanks again for the feedback! I don't have the ability to post images of the coin at this moment....very low end point and shoot camera but I am fixing that in the next couple days.

 

Point & Shoots are fine.
You just need enough light (even with cell phones).
and be at the proper distance for in-focus. If you are too close it will never focus.
and hopefully with enough light the shutter speed will be fast, and you won't need to brace or place the camera on something. Of course, adding light is always a good thing.

 

Can't tell unless we see the entire Cent on both sides. That area is a problem area on the Cents.
