I also found this yesterday and seen the drum,and immediately thought it was a grease strike. Your thoughts? Thanks for any and all advice. Have a good one!

It is most likely a weak strike, the drum is opposite the point of highest relief on the coin.

It's a weak strike...some people are trying to get "Full Drum" designation for high quality strikes, just like Full Bell Line, Full Torch, etc.

To me it is a Grease Filled Die. Note the letters on the 'QUARTER' area of the coin. Note how they fade out wider. That is usually an issue with a partial grease strike on the die.
