What happened to this Kennedy half dollar? You can't tell in the picture, but it's a 2002-P. Is this one worth having PCGS slab?

Sorry for the picture quality, it's in one of those cardboard holders.

    Probably a grease-filled die.

    Looks like it was struck through grease.

    A great example of Struck thru grease filled die...

    Are there any shiny spots/areas on the coin?

    No shiny spots...

    So is this worth anything? Worth slabbing?

    Not worth slabbing -

    PCGS & NGC will only certify the struck-through grease mint error is there is major detail loss. ICG is the only one I know that will slab minor grease strike through's.

    Would this be considered major?
