    85 Lincoln Cent with no "Trust"

    Hello People, I found a curious 85 Lincoln Cent that is missing the "L" in Liberty, the "In" & "Trust", In God we trust. It does not appear to be tampered with or altered as I imagine that does happen. Wondering if anyone has seen similar coins? Any input would be appreciated & I Thank You in advance. I will try to post the pic.

    It appears to be a coin that was struck through some grease. It is not anything too scarce. There are plenty of them out there.

      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 be weak, or not struck at all on the coin.
