You have what's called a filled-die error. That error occurs when a bit of grease or other crud gets into one of the small recesses of a coin die that forms the letters and numbers when it strikes a coin blank. Coins are minted by the millions at very high speeds so filled dies happen fairly often. There are "niche" collectors who will pay small premiums for filled-die coins but in general they're only worth a small amount above their face value.
For what it's worth, dates have numbers in them, not letters, LOL!
Missing numbers & letters on coins is a common error that's caused by grease or tiny pieces of metal filling in areas of the dies and for most coins does not add to the value.
This is a very common error caused by a filled die and adds nothing the value of the coin.
It's still 25 cents. Missing letters & numbers on coins is a very common occurrence caused by grease and dirt that fills in the dies.
