Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 02/09/2023 05:03 am @mig, yes seems like this dime was struck with some grease in the die, which caused some missing letters in the design. Despite the circulation wear, it is a good example. You could save it until a better example comes around and then spend this one.

However issues such as the Grease Filled Die are very common and carry no numismatic premium. Value is 10 cents. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
