1998 (I Think) Lincoln Cent Faint Date and Letters.
As I was going through a box of pennies, I found this one. I think it's a 1998. The date and some of the letters are faint and hard to see. Have these letters been rubbed off? The rim around the coin is not rubbed off.

What happened here is likely a die plugging event, too common to have any premium. The coin is also heavily environmentally damaged.
U.S. cent lover!

Grease filled die when the coin was struck. Common and no added value.

The coin is roached beyond reproach, it's all caused by corrosion.
