<p>[QUOTE="Sundance79, post: 2819344, member: 84413"]While I can't move a mountain, I can move an ant hill. That ant hill in my collection. I have all my coins listed in a spreadsheet. I'm going to start with my slabbed coins by adding in the remarks section of the sheets if the strike is weak, average, or strong. I'm not going to put any qualifier with it like, "Strong strike for that year or mint," on an otherwise average or weakly struck coin. A strong strike is a strong strike regardless of how well the dies and the presses were working in the mint that day or year. </p><p><br /></p><p>And while I'm writing this, it occurs to me that 'strike' may not be the right nomenclature. I guess technically a coin could have a 'strong strike' and be perfectly flat with no details at all. What might be the single correct word that would describe a coin that is struck with all the depth and detail as the designer intended? Or is 'strike' the word?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
