This is a 1924 Wheat Penny that is missing the "Liberty" stamp. A ghost portion can almost be made out. The glare from my flash makes the penny look kind of silver but it's brown.

My first thought is that your coin is heavily worn. Do you disagree with that?
My second thought is that the wear on your coin affected some parts of your coin more than others. Do you disagree with that?
My thought is you have a very worn Lincoln cent worth maybe 20cents full retail.

Struck through grease, then heavily circulated and mutilated...

…with some dabs of corrosion. I put coins like that with my other coins like that.
Welcome, and good luck with your new hobby.
Yes, probably a struck through grease error but corroded on reverse, not mutilated. And quite worn, too, so not a "good" example of a struck trough grease (or filled die) error.
Even it it was struck through grease there is no way to prove it in that condition. "Liberty" could just as easily have been obliterated after striking.
Although it’s possible, I don’t think that that left side is the result of a filled die error
Thank you everyone for your responses. I really appreciate your input.
Welcome!
