Presented is a 1902 Liberty Head five cent coin that
would grade an overall FINE, displaying a very legible LIBERTY (I
complete but weak) in Miss Liberty’s crown and some hair detail. The reverse indicates a grease-filled die was
used as, at the 1:30-2:00 o’clock rim position, the letter O of OF is a
shadow with F and A(merica) obliterated. The same condition exists at the 7 o’clock
rim position as the dot and letter C(ents) are non-existent
(hence the No Cents coin) and the adjacent rim is thinner. Additionally, the tip of the right wreath,
through the left leg of the V and through the lower left wreath adjacent to the
ribbon bow, shows a flatness and loss of detail indicting a film of grease was
present on the die when the coin was struck.
