Error Filled Dies | 1995 D PMD? Die Deterioration? Or Greaser?

I’m not positive however, I think it’s a grease filled die that produced this effect. Anyone care to chime in. Thanks

I agree. Looks like grease filled dies.

I'm not real familiar with them but the lack of depth on the rims, makes me lean towards a weak strike. It looks the same on obverse and reverse.

I'm going with a greaser as well on this one.

If you look at item#2 on the error ref link it says,
"2. A weak strike will retain some, most, or all of a planchet proto-rim. The proto-rim is erased in a weak strike."

I don't see any of the original proto-rim but I do see a well-defined rim from the rim gutter.

Thanks for all of the input everyone. I could not come up with a clear answer with the limited knowledge I have in these matters but it was interesting enough for me to put in the keep pile.

Its definitively a greasy strike, but also remember, it's common for ATES OF to be weakly struck due to the large amount of material needed to strike up the bust on the obverse.

Thanks for the information Will. I appreciate that.
