Does that mean it wouldn't be worth anything..It doesn't seem to be there at all just an open space.

This happens when the cavity of the letter or digit is clogged with grease and is not struck. It is more common that most believe and I see these often myself, so it doesn't add any extra value to the coin.

Yes, it's worth face value. Of course someone on ebay might pay a little more.
