merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/16/2021 11:05 pm The missing L is due to a Grease Filled Die. These generally have no value over face unless they are missing a good portion of the coin's details. It is a good idea to always show us both sides of your coins with closeups of areas of interest.
