<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 53212, member: 705&quot;]Well, what I have read is that the weak (thanks Roy...) strike is because of the pressure (and that means that the life of the die would be longer and that means less worn dies!--cause I think the pressure would cause the die to wear faster) of the die hitting the planchet...I&#039;m sure that some coins have worn dies but I haven&#039;t read anywhere about that---The O mint was sloppy on the job...they didn&#039;t have good pressure on the dies and also a lot of bag marks on the coins...My dad sent in a NICE O mint Morgan dollar to ANACS and it came back MS62 but he sent in a NICE S mint Morgan at the same time and it came back MS65...now I went through a whole roll of the date of the O Morgans and the one he sent in had the best strike and less bag marks and more luster than any others in the roll.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I have a question now...how would you tell a &quot;weakly&quot; struck coin and a &quot;worn&quot; die?</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
