My first thought was: Wow that coin is 1,822 years old.

My second thought was: Clogged die or Strike through grease+circulation.

I was thinking Struck Through Grease, but it's pretty extreme. Would it be worth anything?

I have a few that were grease filled as well, but I could still see a light hint of what was missing, yours is completely gone. I like it!!

I might be new at this but my first thought was the 1922 no D that they pay a gazillion dollars to own. Why would this be any different?
Rest in Peace

It might be worth a few cents or a few dollars. People collect these but it depends upon condition/grade. Since I can only see part of your coin and it appears damaged from circulation, I would guess that this coin isn't worth a lot -- but it's still a keeper.

The value of error coins and oddities seems to be all over the place sometimes, so there is no way to fix an exact value on a coin like this.

Yes, there is damage. The condition isn't great, but it isn't horrible either. The coloring is much better than it appears in these photos...it's BR, but I just got the microscope today and I haven't figured out the lighting yet.

I like this one a lot, very unique. Nothing else affected by grease, and a nice clean disappearance of the whole digit.

I'm with coin cents. I like it!

I don't see where the final digit was struck at all.

I think this is an optical illusion, but there looks like a very faint 2. It looks like a dropped letter type thing. The top curl of the 2 starts to the right of the horizontal bar of the 4. It is below the rest of the date. I only see it in the first picture.

Struck through error (grease). The last digit was fully filled, thus you see no hint of that device. Not a dropped letter. With enough debris into the digits grease, then it might become later a dropped digit. But when your coin was struck, this event hadn't happened yet.

I must be blind, but I can't see any shadow of a 2 at all.

Well you know mahgobbi value is just as subjective as grading. The only way to know is put it on the market. Nobody on a message board can really speak for the market as subjective as it is.

Despite the grade, I think it's uniqueness gives the coin enough desirability to forgive some quality
Rest in Peace
