<p>[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 277799, member: 2972"]FYI, the reverse "weakness", particularly through ONE CENT, is not weakness of strike, but rather wear. The dies that this variety were struck with suffered from die swelling, making ONE CENT the highest point of the coin, and thus it is the first part of the reverse to wear. It is not problematic at all on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>THe weakenss through the date and the top of the reverse is a result of a misaligned die, again not particularly problematic for the knowledgable collector, although it would be factored into the price, the hit would not be significant....Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
