<p>[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 540515, member: 307"]I wouldn't be surprised if that was weak strike, Ruben. Look at the die degradation in the area of the rim and E Pluribus Unum, as these dies wore this area started to noticably degrade. These letters are weak and blending into the field, so IMHO, the area you are looking at is due to weak strike, and not wear. Luster breaks are hard to tell from pics though, and so I suggest an in-hand examination to determine whether this is weak strike or wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
