I can understand how addicting these could be. A collection of well struck examples next to grease filled die examples would be a nice collection.

    Looks like it struck from a very late stage thinning capped die

    @FredWeinberg .... Thanks for that input... I had not thought of that, but did not appear to be a grease filled die coin... Cheers, RickO

    That was my first thought but you beat me to it.
