I was noticing most of them were affected in more places than just one letter but examples of Kennedy halfs do have just a couple letters missing. Hopefully a Grease Filled Die expert takes a look!

It appears to be a struck though grease issue. The L on LIBERTY gets weaker with die wear, but the other letters look strong and flattened some from circulation.

I just noticed one of my 1916 pennies has "IN GOD WE TRU T" where the "S" is just completely missing. I think it's a similar error to what you were discussing.

Yes it is, deboriole. I recently found one where the "S" in States on the reverse was completely missing also. Struck Through Grease error.

Question: Why are the 1916 coins special?

Only 1,050 of the 1916 proof Lincolns were minted, in the final year of matte proof cent production.
