Guys, I have stumbled upon another what looks to be a Greaser, but also has other issues as well. I need some help in determining exactly what I have found, please. Thank you in advance.

Appears to be a very strong case of Die Deterioration, with (perhaps) some grease thrown in.

Might be some grease but I see a lot of Die Deterioration
that is affecting the flow of the metal.

Also the weakness of the reverse incuse devices tells me the die was way over polished, and it removed a lot of the raised devices on the die. Also weakening these incuse outer devices on the reverse. While it looks like a Grease Fill item, it is not. Just the devices that would have been raised on the die, that are polished down to point of almost gone. It it were a Struck Through Grease issue, the devices that would have been raised would have been wider in size, not smaller in size. An interesting find. Not a premium for this, but would be interesting to have a wider view of the images you are taking. (perhaps images of each quarter+ on each area to get nice larger views to see how bad these dies really were) These dies were soon to be retired. It looks like it has been through three die polishing already (looking at the condition of the raised devices) and this would be one of the last ones to struck with this die pair.
The obverse is showing extreme DDD as well. Very heavy die flow lines and weakness of the devices that were raised to start falling apart towards the rim direction.

Coop, "An interesting find. Not a premium for this, but would be interesting to have a wider view of the images you are taking. (perhaps images of each quarter+ on each area to get nice larger views to see how bad these dies really were)" Hope this will help, thanks.

On my images I try to include the whole word, EPU. This gives a wider view. Rotating t coin to make a curved device as level as possible. That was what I hoping for on the incuse devices on the reverse. This way what we need to see is visible in a horizontal plane. But these images are a lot more helpful. Thanks.
