I recently purchased a box of foreign coins. I have only just started to go through them. I found a 196? Cinco Centavo coin the final digit for the date is just simply not there. Looks like it never was. What do You think?

You might think there was a failure to add the last digit to the die, but I think it's more likely that it was Struck Through Grease. If so, this constitutes an "error" of sorts but also an occurrence common enough that I doubt there'd be a substantial premium.

If it was Struck Through Grease there would be a hint of a number, no? There is nothing!

It was most likely Struck Through Grease that caused the digit to disappear. http://www.error-ref.com/struck-thr...-grease-oil/
