PMD Or Error?

Coin_nut1977

Help appreciated!! I was thinking grease filled die maybe.

Looks badly worn to me. But what do I know. Lol

nice error!

most likely a weak strike not a struck-through.

If it were badly worn, the rims probably wouldn't be there.

So, are 'weak strikes,' as @LanceNewmanOCC describes this coin, and 'die adjustment strikes,' as I've heard similar coins described, the same thing?

Major Die Fill Error Coin, Very nice!

Could this be an adjustment strike or test strike?

ctf_error_coins

No

This might answer your question.

I love it and was pleasantly surprised when I opened this thread. Great find. It is the real deal.

After searching millions of cents. I'm happy to have one. Any premium for this? $5 for it maybe more? Besides what someone is willing to pay for it.

Yep, kind of realized that after more replies came up. Made me look closer. Lol

As usual, EOC nailed it.
Worth more than five bucks though

What is going to be the delineation for some of these which appear to be perhaps one or the other for those of us that don't see too many of these on lincolns?

the die fills will have that powdery surface look (from the grease or substance) whereas the adjustment/low pressure/weak strike won't?

@dunkleosteus430 - even though i thought more weak strike than strike through, i certainly don't disagree with the 2 error experts that called it a major grease strike through (there are a LOT of examples of these on lincolns) and i put 3 terms i've seen used for weak strike coins. pretty sure i've seen all 3 on various holders over the years.

It is in the link I previously posted.

Most weak strikes do not have such a sharp design rim. This one has a super sharp design rim, indicating that it is likely struck through. Weak strikes also don’t tend to have well developed edges, whereas this one does.

This one also just has the “look”.

Good points (and link) about differentiating between weak strike and grease filled die..... That is a great example and two-sided as well. Cheers, RickO
