[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3352878, member: 15309"]The 1954-S is the worst struck of the entire Jefferson series. Your coin has a very good strike and is an excellent album coin. To give everyone an idea of the typical strike characteristics for this date/mm, I present the following 3 coins. [B]Above Average[/B]: One might not think this coin is well struck when compared to other date/mms but for a 54-S, this is about as good as they come. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/zR0yaPJ.jpg[/IMG] [B]Average Strike[/B]: Notice the almost non-existent step detail in combination with significant loss of detail in both the hair and on Monticello. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Yd5EWLQ.jpg[/IMG] [B]Below Average[/B]: This is the depths to which the horrible quality of strike sunk to in 1954 at the San Francisco mint.
