1997-d dime need help???

[faithyourway777]

I have a 1997-d dime and the I in God we trust is missing and the word We is faded out. I looked at images of how a normal coin should look and its different. I'm uploading a normal image and one of mine. Is this an error?? If it is how much more value does it add and what type of error is it?? Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

No error I can see...just normal wear.

Maybe had a slightly grease filled die also, but, still no added value.

Well, it's definitely not wear, why would the IN and WE be the only things that are worn on the coin? They wouldn't.

It is either a slight grease filled die in that area of the obverse (and also the top of L in Liberty) or slightly less pressure hit the lower left hand side of the planchet during the minting process.
