Usually a weak strike is only on one side, I think.
This showed up very recently on a Facebook page for residents or former residents of my home town. I thought it was pretty neat! I remember this...

Your 1952-D quarter is not a proof and never was. Proof-LIKE, perhaps. Proofs were never made at the Denver mint. Only at Philadelphia until...
