I have this 1970 penny and the L is missing in Liberty. I wonder if the value. I'm sorry I just don't see anyway of posting this coin on here. It very confusing to post a coin

Note the base of the 'L'? On that device, the tops of the devices were filled in with grease. Just the foot now shows, but because it is wider than the normal devices, the top portion of the die was totally filled, but the foot was partially filled with grease:

Note on these illustrations on how the dies can be filled. At an angle I feel the die was wiped down with a cloth, thus angling the grease. (Off seen on the outside edge devices)

Note how they look wider? It is because the tops of the tapered devices are filled differently.

Just a partial Grease Filled Die.
Quite common and adds no value.
