Whats the value of a Lincoln 1975 with weak strike on the 1 in the date? Condition is VG condition. Will try to get pictures but ballpark it for me.

With out seeing a picture, I would assume the weak "1" was caused by a grease filled die. There isn't a lot of demand for an item like that.

This site covers varieties and errors for the lincoln cent:

Negative, this is not a grease coin. Ebay "Weak 1", appears to be about $5.

Based on what? One ebay listing for a 1951 D with a weak 1? That's not even the same year, so it's not evidence of a known type of error for that year. Plus, that's not an actual sale, so you can't use it to determine value. Unless you have evidence that there were many 1975D "weak 1" error cents, this is just a grease coin.
