Looks like a greaser.

 

And what is that exactly

 

Hiya @Pdiddy32 and welcome to CoinTalk.

Here is a place you can read about and see examples of what can be found on coins. In fact there is a photograph of a coin a little like your coin with the 'missing L' about a third down the page.

Means the coin die got filled up with something, most likely grease.

I would go with die deterioration damage. If it was grease, the distance between the vertical part of the L would be much further away from the "I" ( the length of the horizontal part of the L). IMO.
