<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vavet, post: 374517, member: 11630&quot;]The reason the 1887 is generally considered to be poorly struck is because the dies were used well after they should have been retired. BUT, with a 20 million mintage, from about 55 dies, there are plenty of coins with decent strikes from the first half of each die set run. This crap of making allowances in grading for shoddy workmanship at the mint doesn&#039;t pass the smell test, let alone plain logic. It&#039;s just another manipulation of the hobby in order to generate more revenue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
