Obv not so bad really just missing the "LI" of Liberty.
Reverse however has "Unit" and most of the E Plurubus"

Seems States of America just couldn't make it to the party.
Probably the biggest greaser/missing lettering I have found myself. Not really worth anything but I enjoyed it and think it's kind of neat.

Yup, a Greaser for sure
To the right collector, could be worth a few dollars at most, since this is a tad more dramatic than most. That feature on the top of the memorial building is consistent with a linear plating bubble.

Nice find Mr J

At the moment all these grease strike throughs are selling for a small premium and there is enough missing to entice some actual collectors. Grease strike throughs are very common for the most part, they're probably the most common error type besides laminations, and in the past normally only grease strikes which have obliterated large areas of the coin have any added value. The exception are coin series which are rarely found with errors of any kind. An example would be a 5 oz America the Beautiful coin, which is a series rarely found with any type of errors. But even for a coin like that, the strike through needs to be fairly large to really add much value.
