<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 154679, member: 1674&quot;]I would also add that the Walker series has some of the worst struck coins the mint has made, especially for the branch mints during the 40&#039;s.&nbsp; A well struck 40-S is a coin that looks AU since there will be detail missing from the skirt, and it will cost a premium to get a well struck specimen.&nbsp; For instance this coin is an average strike for a 40-S:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v405/jsmexico/100_3960.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v405/jsmexico/100_3963.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So you must not only be able to differentiate a coin with wear from a coin without wear, but you must also learn to recognize when a coin is worn and when it is just poorly struck (the coin above is unc, it just looks worn because of the poor strike).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
