I am pretty sure the year is 2000.

Struck thru grease

Yes, it is struck through grease as the rim is too formed to be a die adjustment strike.

I like it. Never found an error like that, or even close, from circulation

Agreed. Struck through grease.

By the way, I can't say it often enough, but the term "die adjustment strike" is untenable. Unless you were there when the coin was struck, you can't identify the ultimate cause for a weak (low-pressure) strike. It could be an escapee from a test run (unlikely) or the result of mechanical failure (e.g., jam-up in adjacent striking chamber, broken knuckle joint, loss of proper die spacing, improperly positioned cam, etc, etc). The vast majority of weak strikes in the marketplace are undoubtedly the result of spontaneous equipment malfunction.

At best you can identify proximate cause (abnormally low ram pressure or insufficient die approximation), but this usually depends on the presence of at least one additional error.

That is cool I like it.
