Item Description
A grease die error coin, also known as a filled die or strike through error, is a coin where a section of the design is obscured by grease or other foreign matter on the die's surface. This can affect a single numeral or letter, or a larger portion of the coin's surface.
For a 1950-S penny with a grease die error but otherwise a strong strike, it’s important to emphasize both the uniqueness of the error and the overall quality of the coin. Here are some appealing selling points:
-
Unique Error with Collector Appeal: This 1950-S Lincoln Wheat Cent features a fascinating grease die error, which results in certain details being partially obscured. Such errors are highly sought after by collectors who appreciate the uniqueness and rarity of minting anomalies.
-
Exceptional Strike Quality: Despite the grease die error, this coin showcases a remarkably strong strike, with sharp details on Lincoln's portrait and the wheat stalks. This combination of a strong strike with an error makes it a standout piece that bridges the gap between error collectors and those seeking high-quality coins.
-
San Francisco Mint Rarity: San Francisco mint coins are often prized for their lower mintage numbers and distinct characteristics. This 1950-S penny, with its unique error, represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of numismatic history that stands out even among other San Francisco issues.
The value of a circulated 1950-S penny with a grease die error generally depends on its condition, demand among collectors, and the prominence of the error. Here are some general guidelines for similar coins:
-
Grease Die Error: Grease errors often don’t carry a substantial premium because they’re considered relatively common among errors. However, collectors interested in minting errors may find it appealing, especially if it affects certain design elements in an interesting way (e.g., partially missing letters or numbers).
-
Condition: Since the coin is circulated, any wear will affect the value. In lower circulated grades, without significant wear, it may be valued slightly above face value, possibly between $1 to $5.
-
Strong Strike: A strong strike can add some appeal, as it contrasts well with the error. However, the grease error typically lowers the overall value impact unless it's very unusual.
