<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2603780, member: 1892&quot;]I don&#039;t see them as mutually incompatible. Extreme die wear manifests itself sometimes as visible artifacting on the die which is then struck onto the coin, exemplified (I believe) on this occasion by the weakness and striations around the globe and elsewhere on the reverse. Another thing I&#039;m seeing in some areas is &quot;filleting&quot; at the edges of letters, where the transition between field and letter simply isn&#039;t as abrupt as it used to be due to wear. In either case, characterized by artifacts showing up at field level.</p><p><br /></p><p>A poor strike will most likely present at the &quot;higher&quot; parts of the coin (&quot;deeper&quot; on the die), and I see no reason why they can&#039;t both exist together. In fact, the former is a pretty good reason to deliberately engage in the latter. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
