Both sides of coin are missing words. What is this error called and is it valuable? Thanks C.C

Looks like the dies had some grease on them. Wiping them down with a cloth spread the grease deeper into the dies.

is it valuable?


If the inscriptions had been missing completely, then I think yes. With this current coin, I'm not so sure. It is for sure a nice example and so keeping it in the 2x2 is fine. I'm just not sure that it is worth much more than face value.

Struck through grease. I'd keep it in a 2 x 2.
