this coin appears to be missing the "L" in liberty and the "IN" in "IN God we trust' If I look close I can see them, but they are almost completely washed out, there seems to be a very week strike in that area? is this a Grease strike? will it be worth anything?
There seems to be a lot of wear and tear on the coin spreading from the section of it where the "L" would start and "In" would end. If you look close enough you can make out the "L" and the "n" in "In"
Yes, like I said you can barley make it out in those areas, but the second picture is not toally a good one as it looks like it's covered by a ton of scratches in that area, but it's actuall like that over the whole coin,,I guess just worn
I also found one of these. I noticed it because it looked so blank compared to other halves. The letters on the left side of the obverse look like they were never pressed into the coin without any sign of wear. Maybe it's a ligit variety? Ask Mike Diamond, he'll know.
Looks struck through grease. You can see the same affect on many of the state quarters.....looks half blotchy half scrached up. Nice picts btw. I haven't seen many that capture the original mint luster that well.
i second foundinroll's (bill's) idea. :kewl: As for the worth, almost nothing.. but you could check Ebay and Heritage.
What????...for a coin from that age and taking away that much detail I would say it adds a nice piece of value....I would say that something that cool would mayeb get $10+ the value of the coin....I could be way off but most grease filled die errors that take aways that much detail do help the value.

coin from what age speedy? sure, it might tack on a few bucks, but i wasn't going to say its comparable to winning the lottery. off topic- i still havent heard anything from WINS, speedy.
Duh....I was thinking about another grease filled coin here in the same forum....it was older.... Did you email JD?? If not...do and ask if he got your form. Speedy
I collect error coins and not sure why. Virtually hundreds. That type of coin with missing letters or numbers is common and at coin shows sells for very little. Unless an error coin is popular in the numismatic world, such as the 55DD Lincoln, the value is slight. I suggest do as I do and put it in a 2x2 and start an error collection.
