moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 10:11 am More than likely grease filled the area where that last 2 should show. Grease filled areas on a coin are usually not considered of much value UNLESS a good portion of a design element were missing. In your example only the last 2 is almost missing, which would make it worth very little above face value. If the entire DATE were missing, then that would be worth much more.

batboy Pillar of the Community United States 650 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 12:01 pm Struck Through Grease would be my guess too. I have a Kansas quarter that is also Struck Through Grease. It's missing a "T" in the motto, so it says: IN GOD WE RUST. You can see a faint bit of the letter T just like you can see a little of the 2 in your dime.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/11/2016 3:29 pm It is a Struck Through Grease error. They are interesting, but not real valuable. Report this Post to the Staff
LittleBlueFox New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 06/30/2020 10:25 pm I have a 2002 Denver dime with several disappearing letters and a missing 2. I saw that one reply said it might be worth something if a lot of letters were faded. Is this worth something? Advice appreciated. See picture below. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 06/30/2020 10:28 pm It's a more severe Grease Filled Die than the last one you had, but it still isn't severe enough to make the coin worth a significant amount. I would place the value at 30 cents. Edited by SilverCents 06/30/2020 10:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/30/2020 11:05 pm SilverCents is being much more generous than I would be. Grease filled single digits are becoming more and more commonplace. I would assign a value of only a few cents above face, at best. The grease coins that are rare and worth something are the ones missing half the features of the whole coin. Some of those are stunning! Report this Post to the Staff
