I found this while going through some rolls of uncirculated 1969-S lincolns. Is this an example of a coin struck through grease? Is it even an error?

Thanks for the input.

I'd go with "adjustment strike".

Looks to me like a textbook example of a coin that was struck when the press was either being started up or shut down.

That would account for the light strike. Don't know about price, but these are collectable for what they are.

Struck through grease, not an adjustment strike. Adjustment strikes (or any other kind of weak strike) would have to be weak all over. The only way to get IN totally gone but GOD struck fully right next to it is by some sort of obstruction such as grease.
