It just looks like a relatively common date wheatie that's been around the block a few times. What's not right about it to you?

I agree that it is difficult to tell with these poor pictures that I took. However, there is nearly no ware on the word trust to warrant the "T" to be missing with the exception of maybe 4% of the top of the crossbar in the letter.

It could just be a striking issue, a Grease Filled Die, etc.

Have you weighed it? It should weigh 3.11g.

Rims appear to be thicker than the norm (especially the reverse), possibly the result of a weak strike?

Struck through a small obstruction, otherwise normal. It wouldn't be considered significant enough to be an error that warrants a premium value.
