Actually I'm a little confused about what "Typical strike" is suppose to mean. To me "weak strike" is fairly self explanatory as is "good strike"....
Darn, I was going to say AU58BN. To put in a different guess I'll say 53BN. Very nice coin!!
I agree that it is in the 77% category. I also think this coin looks much better in hand than what the images would lead you to believe. To...
I would be more than happy to email you the 39 PDF files that Mr. Pope sent me on his study. Then you could make your own conclusions. Here is a...

The original issuing agency didn't release this restrike of a 1823 Large Cent. Holdered by NGC and graded MS 64. Here is the Heritage description....
