Maui_808 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 01:46 am Is this coin worth keeping? The obverse is missing the letter L in Liberty and the reverse is missing the word Of and well as the last part of states.? Also the R looks backwards in Pluribus and it appears there is another letter under the D on the obverse? Edited by Maui_808 12/10/2023 02:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 04:18 am The L looks missing because of Ridge Ring,IMHO The reverse side has a known weak area right there.Might be a grease issue as well.Your pics are a bit blurry,just a FYI. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 09:00 am Not worth much of a premium, but perhaps worth keeping as an example of a minor Struck Through Grease. Also, the coin is in pretty rough shape, with some environmental damage. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19131 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 09:15 am Obverse shows a Struck Through Grease issue. The reverse shows the classic issue involving 'not enough metal' to show all detail when the coin is struck--the weak '...TED STATES of AMER... area on the reverse is immediately opposite of Abe's shoulder area (obverse). Grease may be contributing to the reverse concern as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95254 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 09:46 am a weak strike on the top of the reverse is due to the obverse design elements taking up the material needed to strike up properly. (the obverse has a deeper design than the reverse and thus lower pressure so the metal goes there in stead of filling the reverse design. On the obverse I see a Ridge Ring - a sign of a worn out die.. Is coin collectable? no not in my opinion. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
