2012 Denali Quarter-Obverse issue

I just found this quarter in my change. The reverse is all there, but the obverse is missing almost all the lettering and the mint mark. Would this coin have left the mint like this or is it PMD

I'll guess a capped die strike. @paddyman98 ??

 

It could be a die adjustment strike or one heck of a good greaser.

 

Capped die error

 

Thanks for all your inputs. First time I saw anything like this.

 

It’s a keeper for sure.

 

I'm thinking greaser

 

Is there any way to tell the difference between a capped die and a
struck through grease coin? Thanks.

It's a struck through compacted grease. The Reverse was struck with a newer Die.

Some of the letters and George are a bit to sharp to be a struck through Capped Die.

 

Thanks for the website and the great explanation.

 

The rim on the obverse is a strong indication it is a greaser
