  the line from 1 o'clock to 7 o'clock is a die break
  
  
  whther that is only reason for poor strike on obverse
  or if it was struck through grease as well, I am not sure

  The obverse die split, and a planchet then stuck to it and became a die cap. Your coin was struck by a late stage of this die cap. I've seen a similar break and capped die progression on a dime, I want to say 2000-P. The die cap probably formed shortly after the die split, as a planchet squeezed its way in between the pieces.

  Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

  Looks like a severely cracked die with grease filling.

  The coin was struck through a split, capped die.

  I think this is the first error thread that I opened in which I could name what the error is Looks like some of the info from this forum is starting to soak in. Either way, very interesting error.
