<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insomniac, post: 792953, member: 21995&quot;]In addition to building my Mercury set, I decided to undertake a birth year set as well -- in my case, 1987. I&#039;ve already got just under a third of the set done, since, to make it as complete as possible, I will be collecting by mint mark as well as the silver and gold commemorative coins from that year. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve taken care of the San Francisco coins, all of them in beautiful deep cameo, but when starting on the business strikes, I ran across some questions. I want the best coins possible for this set (and I hope to make a good registry set out of it), but I&#039;m not entirely sure about strike qualifiers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m looking for FT on the dimes, and FS on the Jeffersons, but beyond that, I&#039;m a bit lost. I know RD is desirable for cents, but are there any signifiers of a well struck coin other than judging by eye? The same goes for the quarters and halves; I can tell a well struck coin when I see one, but are there particular details on these three types that mark a truly remarkable piece, a la FT and FS?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your time and help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
