Is this just overly aggressive die polish? Or die erosion? Or planchet issues?

For a quarter that is otherwise rather well struck, the date on this SLQ is nearly missing at the top. The reverse show some weakness as well, but nothing like the obverse.

I do like this coin, bu I do not own it. It is currently in Northeast's inventory marked as "sold".

IMHO looks like struck though grease on the date

Agree. That was my first thought as well.

Thanks to you both.

After magnifying the picture, and being able to 'read' the date, even in the weak area, I agree with the grease filled die opinion....Interesting coin... Cheers, RickO
