Found this today. Had problems getting the photos to do it justice. The satiny area is raised and goes almost all the way around the head. is this a Grease Filled Die error? Or is st a weak strike? The portrait seems strong though.

Grease filled, polished and worn die. The raised area around is indication of wear...metal flows to the outside of the die, then polishing further pushes crap into the die recesses leaving the flat look...rather becoming, is it not?
