<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3153970, member: 15309&quot;]While I agree with your overall point that the strike designation does not mean the coin was well struck, I don&#039;t think you chose the best example.&nbsp; The 1964 saw over 1 billion nickels struck and the coin you showed actually has a pretty decent strike for that year.&nbsp; Here is a coin with a much more average strike for the date.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/GRpUmTt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think a better example would be a coin that has full steps from a year that most all of the coins were well struck but has an overall weak strike.&nbsp; Take a look at this 1941-D NGC MS67 6FS for example.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ajQzWAc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The pillars and windows are weak and undefined and the doors are barely visible and the coin exhibits significant die wear across the reverse, but there is no dispute, the steps are hammered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
