*** Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling. Please don't do it in titles or posts. ***

Hello Forum, need some help from those with way more knowledge. I have looked at this quarter from every angle making sure noone tried to be slick and outside of a minor scratch it appears as if error is from mint.

I have a 2005 P Kansas Quarter. There is nothing really unique on the front picture (1). However looking at the obverse and its plain as day pictures (2) & (3). At the top, the word "KANSAS" has no "K" at all and if at an angle you can barely see a shadow type of the right side of the "A".

At the bottom "E PLURIBUS UNUM" from E through R the "E" is barely visible and the remaining letters gradually becoming more visible.

Can anyone explain why this is like this, what happened and does it have any value. I love finding errors, however the valuable ones I am putting away for my future grandkids.

Also Starting from left side top where K should be riding beside the left rim all the way down to the bottom at E it almost looks like it has a ora, as seen in 4th picture.

Yes, grease clogs the die so the metal cannot flow in to create a raised surface.

Looks like a Grease Filled Die error... This one is quite dramatic and worth around $3

Thanks for just using one coin per post. It makes it easier for using the search feature.
