Freida Goodhome Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I am new to coin collecting. These were taken with a microscope and despite the look, they are in focus.Is this a grease error on both sides? I'm not even sure if it's Denver or Philly by the mint mark. Thanks for any kind advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 No this is not what a grease clogged die strike looks like. This look is the result of a severely worn over used dies. Freida Goodhome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you find it interesting there is no reason you cannot hold onto it, if for no other reason than as an example of what a coin struck from worn dies looks like.

I forgot to add, you coin appears to have a "P" mintmark indicating it was struck at the Philly mint. Freida Goodhome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
