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.

Great example! Your saving the day. I'll start categorizing and preserving all my errors so they don't wear out even more. I really appreciate the advice

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.

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