Going through some more old 1940s coins and found a couple with possible errors but this one sticks out. It's indented and missing a few letters can anyone tell me a little more about this.

It's a nice Struck Through error. Nice find! It's a keeper and should go into a 2x2.

Interesting strike through, in the approximate shape and location of Lincolns head.

Doug it weighs 3.1 grams. Think I should get it graded if I decide to sell or is it not worth the trouble I'm not a pro in this field.

Weight seems in specs. Grading (cost) would probably be detailed so I'll leave that up to you. As is a nice struck though grease. Thanks, Doug.

Reverse exhibits a Struck Through (most likely grease) error
