    Cool. I`ve got one with no last digit, but never seen one with 2 missing.
    If you can read this, your too close.

    At first glance the area where the digits should be looks 'messed' with? It apears lighter in color like someone rubbed it maybe?

    My guess is that it is a '46

    I have several dozen that you can barely see the last 2 digits. I will post some later.

    Way cool! Stuff like this is what makes collecting very interesting!

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    These are actually a bit uncommon as COMPLETELY missing digits, there are quite a few with very weak digits, though. Given, however, that their causing agent is VERY common, I doubt there's much added value in these. They are obstructed die errors, usually grease, and called "grease filled die strikes" - still very interesting though.

    Struck on a split planchet...seen a few of them, own one. 1957D.

    But since errors aren't my cup of tea, I don't pursue them. I believe they are at least somewhat common.
