This type of error you likely have is called a Struck Through Grease filled die (or just "filled die") error." 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 decent added value. Coop above has some good photo examples. 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.
