More of a striking issue that often happens on that area. On the opposite side of the coin, the highest area, the bottom of the bust is being formed during the strike. If the planchet is slight light, they maybe a light planchet issue.

Note on this one. Like yours the tops of the devices are present, so it maybe not a Struck Through Grease error, but a slightly light weight planchet. (When the stock is rolled out, the thickness may not always be exactly the same thickness)
