    It appears to be a grease filled die. There are no specific rules. The level of value or interest (if any) might depend on the severity.

    There seems to be a market for these even though they're very common with no real value.

    A minor error... grease filled letter is likely.... Some collectors will pay a small premium. Cheers, RickO

    Minor mint error with a minor value. Will any of the major grading services slab it and add "FILLED DIE" to the label? This is a hypothetical question since it wouldn't be worth the expense of getting it slabbed.

    PCGS would not slab it, as it is too minor an error.

    Yes, they do not slab very minor die cracks or filled dies, etc.
