I found this in a coin roll and was wondering if anyone has ever seen a coin like this. Any info about this coin will be appreciated.
Yes.. I/we have seen this issue many times. When the Die used to strike a blank gets oil or debris into small spaces such as the letters or numerals it will clog up. The strike will not fully create or not create the image at all such as your missing letter T. This is called a struck through grease or struck through debris issue.
No, not at all. Might see one selling at a coin shop for $1.00.. On Ebay maybe $10,000.00 by someone who knows nothing about errors. Then you will see some newbie who also knows nothing about errors and waste their money on it by purchasing it.
HMM. I was thinking over-polished die on this one as the other devices don't look fat enough for a greaser. Grease filled dies cause some devices to disappear while leaving other devices looking fatter. An over-polished die will cause devices to fade and disappear without causing the fattening in nearby devices. At least this was my understanding. Am I wrong on this? Either way is still doesn't add any significant value.
I am going to disagree with that. Think of why a Die would be over polished.. Usually to fix an issue such as a Die Clash. I don't see that happening on the Cent in question since overpolishing would usually also occur more towards inside the field and not the edge. This is my opinion.
