1997 D penny?

[Guest]

I found this penny and I don't know anything about what kind of misprint it could be the I N is missing as well as the T's in the IN GOD WE TRUST. Only L I R Y IS VISIBLE in LIBERTY. THE date is messed obviously printed over. I have pics it looks blurry it's not my camera. Back has a few dents but not as bad as the front. Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately a photo will be necessary in order to give a definite answer. Your coin could be a struck through grease error, or it could simply be damaged. Does it look like this? You can click on the photos to make them full size.
Struck Through Filled Die: The most common form of struck through, a cent that is struck though a filled die will have missing or weak design elements. Since that portion of the die is filled or clogged with grease or dirt, that portion of the design will not be struck on the coin. Although this can affect any portion of a coin, some of the more well-known instances in the Lincoln series are the 1922 “Weak D” cents, as well as some of the “no FG” cents.

It does sound like a strike thru but as Will mentioned a pic would be needed when possible!!!
