However it looks from the picture that there are marks that make me think that it might have been taken off in recent times. If it isn't a damaged coin, it would be a great variety.

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 09/25/2012 8:17 pm I have a 1920 5 cent that's very similar -- the coin is actually in fairly nice shape but the T in CENTS is missing. No scratches or other damage, merely a missing T. Looks like a struck-through grease error filling in that portion of the die. Report this Post to the Staff
Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 09/25/2012 8:33 pm I'm certainly not familiar with these coins, but it does resemble die grease. Looks to be some grease on the eastern side of the T in CENT. Report this Post to the Staff
Harry213 Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 09/25/2012 10:10 pm Thanks guys, to be quite honest I never looked this closely at this coin until today. And never noticed the incomplete lettering. I have taken more close up photos of the 18 in the date. And also of the words HALF and CENT. Report this Post to the Staff
