Is it worthy for money to be spent on it? Also it appears to be missing the designers intials? Or does this year they didn't have them?

This coin is only worth face value.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19129 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 07:27 am Given the images posted, it appears there may be a split plating issue with the mint mark, and also early stage Die Deterioration on the obverse--note the ghost-like image on the 5 in 1985.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18645 Posts	Posted 08/17/2022 09:12 am in order to even consider slabbing for the coin it would have to come in at MS68+ to be worth it...not even close. if you have a LMC set you might consider popping it into a slot but thats about it.
