Not as much as a fat John Travolta doing a revival of his disco days.
(The devil made me write this.)

Just WHAT kind of grease do you all refer to? Ordinary lubricant used to keep machines humming? Or a special grease used in coin manufacturing?
I have wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Staying Alive.

Yeah, I don't recall seeing grease strike on both sides of a coin like that.

Here is a nice filled die example:
Heavy-Greaser?

The rim is weak. What is the weight of this one? Maybe a thin planchet if it is underweight?

OP coin looks like a low pressure strike. Might be an underweight planchet.

Note the difference in the rims compared tot he heavy Greaser shown by Coop in post #7
