There are numerous reasons why a coin may not strike up completely. Striking pressure is one of them. There are also instances such as you mentioned where debris (such as machine grease) gets inside the incuse devices of the die. These are called struck through's and can be dramatic and result in missing characters. They are also known as 'Filled Dies'.
Coins like your coin is pretty common and there are no premiums for those. It is the result of weak striking pressure.Bob Piazza
