    Most likely damage or wear or both. No one can answer without seeing it. Jim

    I can see faint traces of the last numbers of the date 98 and faint IB, very faint L. IMO either a grease filled die or a very worn die.

    Looks like a greaser. The Die was filled with grease and/or debris causing a weak or missing letters and/or numbers.
