I've yet to see a Grease Strike all the way around and on both sides so I'm thinking Weak Strike. What do you guys see?

There seem to be several areas that struck up poorly because of grease.

I agree that grease-fill is the cause of the weakness on both sides.

But the question was: Weak or Grease Strike? How can we tell? Not eh missing devices and the devices next to them? The devices that are next to them are wider, because the inner part of the die was filled with grease. This prevents the upper portions of the devices to be formed. So the thinner/tapered devices are prevented because of the grease. So if a device is missing, look at the ones next to that area. That will give you a clue as to what happened.

Unfortunately, it's not a keeper though, because all of the devices are still there. It's only worth face value.
