The beauty of our hobby is searching. My old eyes just don't work like they used to. I remember sending in a Prezzie buck to PCGS for edge lettering that was tripled. An obvious Mint error and malfunction. It came back Genuine. And the label refers to it as "damage". Isn't most every error/variety some kind of damage in the process ? Good to see others share.
. Keep the fire burning. A grease filled die ?
Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody.
The 'w' in We might be damaged a bit,
and the 't' in Trust is a minor filled die.
That State, and others, are well known with
not only missing letters here and there,
but other missing design elements.
Good eyes, but it's not a rare or premium
over face value error. It's an interesting
conversation piece.

This error occurred when Denver Mint press operator Irving Schmaltz was working through his lunch break in order to make up for time lost during an overly long coffee break earlier in the day. Grease from his hamburger dripped into the Grabener press, creating a small run of very rare "Quarter Pounder Burger Quarters," as they're now known within the hobby community.
Also be on the lookout for the exceedingly rare Dill-Pickle Obverse and a rumored-to-exist Doubled Poppyseed.

Grease. No extra value.
