Possible-08-Alaska-State-Quarter-Error?-

Got excited when found this yesterday, waited till tody to let any expectations to wear off lol. the L and I are nowhere to be seen by the naked eye, however zoomed in or under magnification you can see an almost ghost like image of where they should be, like when pressed the die only coyly pecked the cheek lightly.. I'm assuming a wore out die or grease strike?

Any opinions on what had happened or possible worth if any would be greatly appreciated. havnt sold the farm yet but the roosters are ready for auction. thank you!

It's still worth saving as a good example. Keep searching. We have folks report neat finds here almost every day.

It is amazing how many things I have learned to look for.
I wonder how many coins I actually looked at and didn't see the error.
And then they got passed on.
