Don't think this is just circulation wear, mostly because of the state of the reverse not being nearly as worn. As I understand weak strikes, because the reverse is stronger that probably rules that out as well. I'm left with a really strong Greaser, but the inconsistent state of the rim on the obverse is confusing. Any thoughts would be appreciated Report this Post to the Staff

Yes this is a very understandable point of view. However, if a coin is mounted in a bezel, then sometimes one face is protected while the other side is worn down. I agree with @coop and @nfine that the most likely scenario is just wear (not a mint error).
