<p>[QUOTE="Numiscent, post: 688859, member: 16300"]I don't think wear is an issue with the 26-S. The softness of the 6 is an effect of the striking process, and so are the softened high points. Notice the bow tie tip, even though it is not very easy to see. It's also sometimes helpful refer to the reverse as well to gauge general condition when you have a soft obverse and strong reverse. And don't forget the mint luster. The coin isn't the prettiest, but the mint luster can't be ignored and it can't be faked. It's often tough to tell what's going on in photos of coins with strike issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
