<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2723062, member: 37839"]The 1879o is not just an alleged "weak strike." That date is known to have an average or above average strike. If one looks at the posted pictures, there are several flattened spots in the hair, cap, and cheek. On the reverse, the wing tips also appear flattened. There is light wear on that coin. It has somewhat attractive toning, but is not a MS coin; it is AU 53-55. The wear isn't just a light rub, so as to make it an AU 58 slider-- there is noticeable light evidence of circulation in several places on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
