Possibly a piece of cloth or metal clung to the die when this coin was made obliterating much of IN GOD WE TRUST. Some prefer to call these "error" coins, while others consider them to be nothing more than "damaged goods" and worth less than a normal price. But the market sorts things out, which is why we mention the surface condition here. As the coin market has expanded over the last 50 years, the degree of "particularization" as Stuart Alsop termed it in his Rare Art Traditions book, increases exponentially. Today, we see every aspect of collecting divided and divided again, with specialization occuring in all fields: numerical grading, "star" designations for "eye appeal", cameo, deep cameo, ultra deep cameo, etc., prooflike, deep prooflike, ultra cameo prooflike, etc., the mind of the inventor of these possibilities is a genius at ferreting out specialized collecting. So too with this struck-thru piece, a product of the manufacturing process. (#7941)
