Hello misprint! I have to hold at an angle to see any sort of a date. But there is no date on it really. Is this worth anything. And please grade it. Thanks yall.

The date missing is most likely from a Grease Filled Die.

Grease filled die, but sometimes the grease is just a binder, the numerals filled with highly compressed gunk, perhaps a mixture of dirt and very fine metal particles as well as grease, that is enough to competely obliterate the numerals on the coin.
This happenstance can produce what is seen here, which to my mind, has resulted in a rather desirable error coin.

You just need to be very careful to closely examine the date area, to determine without any doubt that the date has not been dishonestly removed.

Looks like a 1960-D LD Greaser. FYI coins are not printed they are minted. Your coin is 2x2 worthy.

Does this mean that it's worth more than others? I'm just learning about all the errors and such. I'm addicted to roll hunting lol

As John1 says not a large premium. But regardless: it definitely is a cool find!
