Big Nub numismatics Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I picked this up for a few dollars from a junk bin. I purchased this because of how cheap it was, and the fact that it might be a grease strike through error. It is a solid VG (in my opinion) except for the missing design elements where "America" should be on the obverse. There is obviously some wear, but I'm unaware of any coins that have uneven were to account for this. These are the best pictures I could get, and I know this will affect your opinion. Any help is appreciated, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie15 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 It could be. It would be hard to convince someone to pay a high premium for it I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Nub numismatics Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 As long as it is an undamaged coin with a mint defect, I'm ecstatic. Grease strike throughs are the most common mint error, so a high premium would already be hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VKurtB Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Tell me, is Grease the word? And if so, does it truly have groove and have meaning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The OP means it was struck through a John Travolta....That's like a Shrubbery without the sneer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES! Oh no, he di-int! Oh yes, I did. What's going on here? I can clearly see what's missing, but what am I missing? You paid money -- dollars, for this? For what? You got beat! Now that you have it, what have you got? A grease what? Strike-through? Sounds just like a used car dealer touting his pre-owned Edsel. What are you going to do with it? Frankly, I would rather as President of the United States be told to shut up on national TV before a live audience of millions than be hoodwinked into believing that that coin is Very Good and not some hideous, totally worthless, genetic mutation. (I can't stand all this newfangled "almost pregnant" nonsense. It does not have a grade. It is not deserving of a grade. It's a Devil's Island relegation (accent aigu over 2d "e"). Do me a favor Big Nub and give me the name and address of a trusted friend I can send five dollars to and when you have the fin in hand, take it, make a wish if you like, and throw it into a public fountain or a Salvation Army bell-ringer's bucket. You will be doing everybody a big favor (and I'll be able to sleep better at nite knowing this world hasn't gone completely crazy). Greased strike-thru... Man are you lucky I'm in a good mood. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
