    Hello,

    Whats up with this 2 cent? It is missing the "A" in america. I am pretty certain it is not worn away. I used a jewelrs loupe and I still couldnt see anything.
    However, in the second picture I used a flash and adjusted the images brightness and contrast. Now you can see a faint "A".

    Everything around it is not worn, and there are no scratches where the "A" should be.
    Is this just a weak strike? Is this unusual?

    Either way, what do you think the value of this coin is?

    Most likely a grease filled die because those letters could not have worn off. Only worth a couple dollars more than its current value. I'd say about $20.00
