"I" could be struck through but the metal flow on the other letters is unusual...thoughts?

Got some grease. No added value for this one. Grease fills the incluce devices and makes the "i" look flat, no where for the metal to go.

Not Struck Through Grease. It was caused by an overpolished die from a Die Clash event. You can see how the devices are thinner from the polishing. Maybe some diamond paste got into the crevices of the "I" in Liberty.

It looks like a Greaser to me with die wear showing on the other devices.

Looks like the majority are saying Struck Through Grease...I'll buy that

Question #2) What punched the hole under the "E" in "Liberty"?

Question #3) Does that MM look tilted and repunched?

The hole is damage, you had to be there to know what was used. The D looks normal.
