<p>[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3853995, member: 19250"]I agree looking at this specimen you can tell the strike is off. That is very common on seated coinage. Judging from the high points wear and the details still visable ,ie, liberty and the upper wings wear tells me it's spot on at vf 30/35 but again would only want to be in at f/vf money.</p><p>But seeing a rim with full cut detail denticals @ 9 k and at 3 k they barely seened.</p><p>I see that on h-10's all the time. I like to vision the hammer on a down ward strike chatters enough to cause a beveled sort of strike going from strong to weak. If that makes sense? You see this on shield nickels also but that's adding hard nickel to the equation which would cause more bounce......look at a shield nickel that appears to have an RPD, Look again was it a repunch or a bounce ? Both giving a double date look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
