    lo 156.JPG The coin looks nice for almost 50 years old but the I is missing.I collect Radar dollars and I don't collect pennies so I don't know what to call this or if its rare but I've never seen one.
    Thanks, Matt.

    Could be a grease filled die however the picture is to small to make an accurate guess. try to post bigger pictures if you can.

    lo 156.JPG I think this is a bigger picture. Grease filled dies, does this happen often?

    More than you'd like. Makes for interesting coins but not much premium value added. Because the dies are a negative to the coin's positive image, that means the "devices" are incused and sometimes gets clogged with gunk (grease, debris etc.) and that prevents the particular letter(s) or a portion of the image from being struck.
