[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 26264856, member: 20480"]While you may not realize it, your statement is not necessarily true. Well worn coins and weakly struck coins often do not look the same. The details may look the same, but the surfaces may appear far different. Most likely, the surfaces of the weakly struck coins retain far more mint luster, and exhibit far fewer surface disturbances from circulation, and are much more pleasing than well-worn coins. The weakly struck coin, despite possessing the same detail as a well-worn coin, is likely to carry a premium, more in line with that of a superior quality coin in that grade.[/QUOTE]
