Breetai Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I have recently come int my possesion a Lincoln Melorial Cent that only has 197 for the date. I would like to know if anyone out there has seen this before and if so how much is it worth? The coin is real nice shape AU++ im not a grader but it is very nice that is the only no mint mark.

amac44 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Grease filled dies will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 It is most likely a grease filled die. As for the value, try taking a magnifying glass and inspecting the coin. If there is a very weakly struck last digit, the coin will probably be worth around 25-50 cents. If there is no trace of a final digit, it will probably be worth $0.50-1.50. It's a cool error, but unfortunately it is one of the more commonly found ones and therefore not worth a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
