[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 979258, member: 112"]No idea as I have not been trying to keep track of them in regard to quality of strike. Something worth mentioning though - you have been claiming that the marks on the O with these coins are always planchet marks. But would it not make more sense that any planchet marks on the reverse would be 1 of 2 places - either at the rev high point which is the wheats, or on the spot that is opposite the obv high point which is the N in CENT. That is but one more reason to think that marks on the O are contact marks and not planchet marks. No, it isn't an always assumption that they are contact marks. As has been agreed - planchet marks and contact marks have a different look. But for the sake of argument let's say both were assumtions. By that reckoning at least 50% of them would have to be contact marks and thus 50% of those coins are over-graded. Now you contradict yourself Mike. You said earlier in this same post that this coin was the strongest struck of all you have seen posted - and then you say it is weakly struck ? It can't be both.[/QUOTE]
