What would you do with a $20 reindeer if it has a minor Struck Through Grease error? Would the error affect the grade (I assume PF 69)? Is there an added value of $0.50, in your opinion?

Errors of the "granny bait" issues of the RCM have been known to sell for a substantial premium. Do you have images?

The image is poor but the spot is evident.

If you are talking about that spot on its right rear, it looks more like struck through debris than grease to me.

debris = some foreign material that was in the die before the planchet was pressed in.

or trash, or waste materials

Augments the value or decreases the value? Does it make PF69 silde into a PF64?

Some may argue that a flaw/error lowers the value, and some may argue that a flaw/error getting through quality control checks raises the value.

Someone should be along with an opinion on its value.
