Hey, I found this a few weeks ago, but did not have the time to take a picture and post it.

Just wondering what you all think of it and what value it may have.

Cheers

Is that a weak strike or Greaser? I think weak strike...IMO
Its just my opinion I'mnot an expert.
If its a Grease Filled Die (which it might be) you would think we would have seen a few more of them around by now.

more then a Greaser. Looks like a die adjustment strike. I would value it more in the range of $50-$100

"Die adjustment strike" means it's a trial piece, and there is no way to know if it's that or if it's from a normal business strike.

I'm leaning on grease strike.

I googled the die adjustment strike, and mine has some of characteristics, however they mentioned that the rim/edging should also be weak, but mine is not. even though most of the beads are missing on both sides,

Not a die trail or adjustment strike. Struck through on both sides, probably worth about $10, maybe more if bidders wanted to fight over it on ebay...
