It looks like OF is nearly "rubbed off" but there is no other damage. Is this an example of struck through grease? It looks like something had the letters in the die "plugged"
You'll have to pardon my terminology I'm still learning
This weakness is common, and I've always considered it to be simply a weak spot in the design that doesn't always strike up well. But, it very well may involve grease. Definitely not PMD.
Wendell Carper It's a bird! It's a plane! Aw nuts... It's merely two die scratches!
I feel it is a common area for grease to accumulate being that it is considered the area of least resistance during the striking process as it opposes the large open area of Lincoln's shoulders. It seems that grease on the anvil die gravitates there.
