The I in Liberty is smashed too, but to a lesser degree. The coin isn't an error of any type; what you see is normal contact marks on the coin;...
Yes, I looked.....but you didn't say why ?

Filled dies obv. I agree it certainly looks like a small piece of tape across the nose. The other marks are either just contact marks, or...
As a rough price range, I'd say it's worth $30-$40 or thereabouts.
