<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Numismatist, post: 26673773, member: 142588&quot;]Like they said, it&#039;s a grease filled die error. It&#039;s important to note that <u>how</u> an error or variety happened, affects it&#039;s rarity, desirability and value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the time when letters are missing it&#039;s cause by a grease filled die, which is a rather common occurrence. But, for example, in the case of the 1982 no mintmark dime, the mint forgot to punch the mintmark onto <u>one</u> of the dies (mintmarks were manually added to U.S. coin dies up until 1990). This means that the only 1982 no mintmark dimes were struck by that particular die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
