Then I'd say it's something to do with the die which struck this coin.

it does look like a filled or worn die as to worth it is very limited but some people do pursue it . what you can do is put it in a 2x2 and collect any errors you come across. they can teach you alot by studing how they happened an so on..

Hi laxmaster
The coin looks like a struck thru grease ,,the date is not the only affected area, the field and the motto is also affected.
These kinds of coins do not have much of a value maybe .25 to .50 cents.
Do you have a pic of the reverse ?

The coin looks like a Grease Filled Die to me. I would classify it as a III-K-4 class error a "Strike Through" according to Alan Herberts PDS Classification system. He calls it a Class 1-4 rarity and assigns a value of 10 to 25 cents (over normal value) provided the coin is Mint State. He assigns no value to a worn coin - because of potential circulation damage. If you notice part of the motto - specifically WE TRUST is also effected as is a small portion of the field. Likely a blob of grease fell into the coining chamber. |

The lettering also is something to look at.
IN GOD WE TRUST the e trust looks different than the rest of the bold lettering.

Your right Toast. I'm lloking at it now. The E is smaller than the W. and RUS is very light. Does this make the coins worth any higher?

 I also have a quarter of the same kind of error. I do not remember which words are missed. But I remember that it is the last several letters of " IN GOD WE TRUST". And these words totally disappear. Now I am on a business trip, when I go back, I will also take a picture and upload for all of your reference. |

The only Grease Filled Die strikes worth anything much are far more obstructed than this. I used to search mint rolls of Quarters and quickly stopped saving them. This is a much more common occurance than you might suspect. It happens more often than Strike Doubling. |

Grease filled State Quarter issues are a bit better than the older version because there is more interest in the State series. Your example is one I would also keep. |
