    It's probably a grease filled die. It's very common and not worth anything. Collectible and interesting but not enough unless it's a good portion of the coin that has been greased. IMG_2373.JPG IMG_2374.JPG IMG_2375.JPG IMG_2376.JPG

    Usually it's nothing too great just a couple letters. If it's like the pictures above, yes its value is nicer

    As @Tyler Graton has said, missing 1 or 2 letters doesn't really add much (if anything) to the value. You really need to post a pic to get the correct ID.

    Minor grease filled die - check http://error-ref.com for the section and photos.

    Adds minimal to no value to the face 5c.

    Missing letters could be grease filled die but could also be an over polished die. Could make a huge difference in value...1969D missing FG Lincoln Cent on reverse is upwards of $750.00. This is why it's so important to have nice, clear, cropped photos to render a decent opinion.

    Right next to post reply below where you are typing is a button called upload file. Click that and after you have uploaded the file there should be a button called post as thumbnail or full image, post only full images so the members don't get frustrated like I usually do
