I'm not sure what caused this, but other members will chime in and they'll tell you what it is. I'll be on a lookout for this thread later.

VVVVVLDS (Extremely Very Late Die State) Greaser. Extreme metal flow and massive polishing, bet the mint techs had a bet on how long this would last!

Not 100% sure, but seems struck through late stage cap die may be plausible. Thanks, Doug.

Which is it? While this looks like a Struck Through Grease something disqualifies it as not being a grease strike. What is that? Look at the rim area? Do you see a normal rim? A normal rim would be what you see on a Struck Through Grease issue. But note, it is dished on that area. So it was struck through a thinning capped die. That is why the rim is not normal.
