<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2819368, member: 112&quot;]Strike is the word, but the concept involved is quality of strike. What I mean by that is this. Going back at least 40 years to when the very first ANA grading book was written, and probably long before that, strike was always and still is used with an ascending qualifier, and adjective, such as weakly struck, struck, well struck, or fully struck, when talking about or trying to define the quality of strike. And if I remember correctly even the Brown and Dunn grading book circa 1958 did the same thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s kind of like what you are suggesting but numismatics has always chosen to use 4 levels instead of what you suggested - 5 levels. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m trying to tell you is that your suggestion has been in use for almost as long as I have been alive, and maybe even longer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
