merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 02:22 am More photos would be helpful (both sides), but yes, it appears your coin had a grease-filled die, missing the last digit. In hand, can you read the last digit? to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
PNWType Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 04:45 am Appears like a Greaser. Surprisingly strong wipe-out of that last digit. Same question as Merc, is there any inkling of that last digit ? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 09:16 am Probably some grease was on the die, and a worker tried to remove it with a cloth. Thus forcing the grease to the edge of the dies date area. Note the right sides of the 96 and the last digit is missing. Thus the movement to that area of the dies grease, was moved in that pattern.
