Hello, I have a 1985 D penny that the L in Liberty is very faint. What do you all think?

You can just barely see the outline of the L.
Looks like a Grease Filled Die.

That makes sense, the penny is in surprisingly good condition as it has been sitting on top of a shelf for at least the last 25 years. Found it while remodeling.

Probably the case. The word "In" above it is also weak.

Note what is there. The base of that device is their. That tells it is a Struck Through Grease error. Not a biggie, but it is an eduactional piece as it show how a near fill device would look like. Unlike a damage device as there are not metal movement. Wide, so it is not a die polishing error. It makes a clear that it is a grease error.
