Error Penny - Year "195" missing last number

[SilverForBrains]

I just found this wheat in a box of pennies tonight. I blew it up with my camera and could not see any evidence of the last number scratched off. Would this be an error related to a greased die? Also, do you see any doubling on the 5? Any help would be great, thanks

Try posting in the coins section. Could be a greasy die but it dosen't look like it from the pictures provided. Could you post a close up of the date?

I actually have about five pennies that look like that. Not sure if it is grease or if it is wear that hits that corner. I also have some wheats tat are worn down to nothing hardly visible anywhere on them.

Very interesting. I know you search a lot of pennies, so I can get a sense of rarity of this coin type, have you found multiple other key dates?

This guy found one in 2010, the consensus was an error coin

Its definitely interesting! I'm no coin expert by any means, but to me it looks like a error coin to me. The "5" for sure has something going on with it as well. Has a coin like yours ever got sent to national coin institute? Lol cant think of correct names🤣😂🤣 Has 1 ever been graded & slabbed with certification? Nice coin! & Keen eye there!

A little late to the topic, but the coin is either struck through grease or scraped off and worn over time. Technically an error if grease, but no real value.
