What happened to Lincoln?

No, this is not a numismatic "Where's Waldo" (but honestly, how cool would that be?!) But I would still like to know where Lincoln went. This coin came from an original roll of uncirculated cents (it isn't wear.) I've been roll searching for a few weeks now (very enjoyable BTW) and came across this interesting piece. What can you tell me about it. Is this something that happens with some frequency, or is it special? I figured it's probably a grease-filled die or a capped die. Is is worth certifying?
What say you?

no real help here on what happened...perhaps a filled die or thin planchet
kinda weird as the reverse struck up fully so only the obverse lacks strike
myself i'd think if a coiner was adjusting a new die both obverse and reverse would show lack of strike so i'd think this is not a die adjustment example
waiting on the sideline with ya here billet
very clean fields so it should be around a 66rd
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
Any more grease, it would be a CAMEO

Cool find.

So, does PCGS certify something like this? I'm guessing you would submit as an error no?

Does this coin have enough value to warrant it being slabbed as a mint error?

Where's Fred Weinberg when we need him?

I would say "No". It's probably a $5 -$7 error.

I think he's gonna chime it. Give him time
As mentioned, it's a nice example
of an Obv. Filled Die error
Is it worth submitting to PCGS or NGC?
Unless you have some great emotional
connection to the coin, I wouldn't spend
the submission fees/postage/etc. for it.
Just lable it as it is in a nice PVC-free flip,
and enjoy........

Negative breaker. A cloth leaves a very distinct weave pattern when impressed onto a planchet.
