<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coderblix, post: 63800, member: 1330&quot;]I just received a 2005 eagle (proof) in the mail today and the strike looks very weak to me.&nbsp; I am comparing it to my 2004 proof and it is just a ridiculous difference.&nbsp; The 2005 looks bland...like it has primer on all of the images on the front and back - a flat grey appearance.&nbsp; Is it unusual to receive a weak strike in a proof coin?&nbsp; Is this something I should return to the mint?&nbsp; I am terrible with the camera but I tried to take a few pics to show the difference.&nbsp; The 2005.jpg just shows the 2005-notice how weak the stars and branches are.&nbsp; The 2005onleft.jpg shows the 2005 on the left and the 2004 on the right - I know it is hard to tell from these pics but the difference is huge.&nbsp; Is the 2005 weak or the 2004 really good? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
