My first thought on this coin would be a Greaser, but I don't see the typical bumpy fields around the lettering. Given that bicentennial quarter dies were known for die clashes and heavy polishing, perhaps some overzealous engraver removed the delicate top of the T?

Looks like a severely over polished die issue to me. Nice find. A keeper in my book.

Great find! If it is over polished I would expect to see more of them. If it's a Greaser, probably not. I will definitely add it to my "look for" list.

Good eyes on this one, I would also lean towards abraded die.
