    looks like a good one, i am not one to know much on errors, but usually "struck thru" errors are generally only on one area. i have quite a few myself of various denominations, i just don't think there's a market for them.

    Good find. I have sold several struck through grease errors to dealer for about 5 dollars a piece. A 500% profit for 1 cent isn't too bad.

    Yep, struck through grease, not a very valuable error but most are much less dramatic than that, most likely worth a couple of bucks.

    I'd say the OP has the market cornered for numismatists named "Erica".
