Weight would help that it's not a thinned planchet.

Weight is normal, so I'll say this is a Grease Filled Die short of anything else I know of. Doesn't appear to be damage. Not 100% sure on this one. Grease and Die Deterioration?   to the CCF!  |

Lack of strong rims makes this an interesting one. I think a weak strike is at least possible. Perhaps this would be a good one for Mike Diamond to take a look at.

It looks to me like the rims are defined but the reverse photo is a little out of focus so I'll say Grease Filled Die. Nice one too.

I'm leaning towards weak strike.
Although the rims are present, they are not uniform (looks like about 50% of the obverse rim is weak or gone) and they are definitely not strongly struck like on most grease filled strikes.
The symmetrical nature of the effect (mostly the same on both sides of the coin) suggests weak strike over grease.

to the CCF! I think it's a weak strike. I like it!  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Any value? Or just nice to look at?
