It was Struck Through Grease, but not enough to add a premium over face value. Your coin is worth face value. http://www.error-ref.com/struck-thr...-grease-oil/

The main difference between a Struck Through Grease and an over polished die is that grease fills the skinnier tip area(low point on the die) which makes the devic/letter wider than normal. Polishing removes the metal making the devices shallower, hence thinner than a normal letter.

I'll remember these two differences, when trying to determine which error my coin has.
