I came across this 1976 half dollar in which the L & I in LIBERTY seems to be completely missing. First thought was simply a worn-out coin but the definition on the reverse is still very complete. Not sure how could wear in such a specific place either. Is this an error coin? If so, what kind of error? Any value above 50 cents? Report this Post to the Staff

Even though only FV coin, I am still going to hold onto it cause I think it looks cool. Report this Post to the Staff
