@cpg, with this high level of wear present, I'd be hard pressed to determine whether the reverse was lightly struck or not, but the presence of remnant lines in the wheat ears suggest to me that it was a typically-struck coin when it left the mint some 102 years ago.

There may have been something on this coin at sometime. Paint, nail polish, some coating that has worn off partly on the higher areas of the coin. Circulation wear is probably its downfall rather than a weak strike. IMOHO
