Struck through grease?    The edge goes half way around the coin.

I think so! One of the best strike through greasers I've seen if so!

I think so. Looks maybe like a 1987-D? Awesome find!

I think it may have been struck through a piece of cloth. The press operators carry lots of wiping rags.

Errers and Varietys,
I was going to say Die Cap... but have so little exp I just didn't guess that.
Will try to post better pics later. Thanks

It kinda looks like a die cap but the strike looks a bit crisp in some points.

As GrapeCollects indicated, the sharp margins of Lincoln's bust are incompatible with a capped die strike. Therefore, it would have to be a grease strike.
