 to CCF. I have no clue as to whether the coin is a weak strike or not. Give it some time and a member will, definitely, let you know.  |

Yes struck through greasee (or something). The rest of the obverse seems like a regular strike.

to CCF. A weak strike would have weak rims,so to speak. Your coin has full rims so it is a Struck Through Grease. John1  |

Like the others have said, it is a filled die error. A weak strike would not show the full rims that your coin has and the deepest parts of the design, like Lincolns profile, would not be so detailed. |

Here is an example of a weak strike due to die adjustment.
 Quote:About 60% of the design missing due to the coin having been struck with insufficient striking pressure. Notice how the rims are not formed, something that would show if this were a filled die error. http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/index.html

. To CCF Looks like you got your answer, weak lettering due to Grease Filled Die. Also If possible ...in the future. Use a photo editing program/app to crop the pictures. It might give everyone better chance of seeing details of the coin. |

Here is what he meant about the absence of the rims. Note the example on top:  That is a grease filled example, the coin on the bottom is a low pressure strike. No rims present, weak obverse face. |

Great example Coop.
Something else to look at is the way the lack of pressure shows on the lowest points of the die. What I am trying to say is if you look at the example I posted, you can see how the lack of pressure on Lincoln's profile gets transferred to the reverse side. An equal lack of pressure is noticeable there. You can almost make out the profile on the reverse side. The same areas of both sides of a coin will show the same pressure or amount of detail.
