1947-S Lincoln Wheat Cent Filled Die Error Missing I UNITED AMERICA VF Penny 1C

A filled die (also called struck-through grease) happens when grease and debris build up in the recessed letters of a die. Where the die is filled, that part of the design does not strike up, so letters come out weak or missing entirely. It is a recognized minor mint error.

On this exact 1947-S Lincoln cent, both letter I’s are missing on the reverse, so it reads “UN ED STATES” and “AMER CA.” The coin grades VF in our opinion, brown. There is a dark spot on Lincoln’s cheek, which is a surface spot and not part of the error. The S mint mark is clear below the date. This coin is stored in a vinyl flip. Please view all of the close-up photos.

SHIPPINGEvery coin we sell ships in protective packaging — no exceptions. The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1/4" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays.
RETURNS / GUARANTEEWe maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy. All we want is happy customers — if you don’t like what we send, just send it back, free of charge.
QUESTIONS? CONTACT USContact us Monday–Friday, 9–5 EST, with any questions or concerns. Our number one goal is happy customers who buy from us time and time again. If you ever have an issue, please let us know — and remember, our return policy above has you covered.
GRADING DISCLAIMERWe arrive at an approximate grade using a combination of our own years of experience and, increasingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are not a professional grading service, and any grade shown is only an approximation — please make your own determination based on the photos provided.
