45 Wheatback- missing the LIB in Liberty on the Obv, and part of the ONE on the Reverse.

Struck thru grease etc or post-mint damage?

The picture showing the bottom on the Obverse has got me uncertain.

I'm leaning toward post-mint damage, but not sure .

I'd say thin planchet from near the end of a strip.

I believe a tapered planchet - Right thickness on the right side, too thin on the left side. A couple of bucks worth in that grade. In BU it would have been a $10-$15 error.

I also think it was struck on a tapered planchet.
