A Little Weard but take a look at my next topic and you will see what could have happened. Bad Qtr!

Did you find it in the ground? Or in change? I have found buried coins that lose some of the surface features due to corrosion. In fact, I have a 1944 S Mercury dime that looks like it was lost the day it came from the mint, except that the silver has recrystallized from soil chemistry and some of the letters on the reverse near the rim are partly gone. It's a shame when this happens to a really nice coin, but nature takes her toll.

Bank coin rolling machines frequently shear off the last digit of a date. If there is no sign of damage then what you have is a filled die similar to what happened on the 1922 penny. In that case the "d" broke off a cent and filled that part of the die. That made later cents appear to not have a "d". In your case the last digit may have broken off a coin in the die and done the same thing. Very neat but rarely have any value. Like anything else the better the condition the more you'll get for it.

Anyone consider a 1922 weak D ?
