Al, it does look as through parts of the name are missing...I could not tell if it was surface wear or a factory print defect. On Tom's example, it was much more obvious that the name was missing due to some sort of over inking during the printing process...much tougher to tell what the cause of the name appearing to have missing letters in the image I posted.
Here is a link to it's listing(you can enlarge the image better)....the #87's image is linked into the wrong items listing though.
