I have had a perhaps XF 1891 which I thought was well struck. Then I care over this very nice, probably MS 1891 that I want to upgrade with. Looking at it in more detail, it looks a little off to me. Or is it just that it’s actually really weakly struck like Bowers describes? Legend is weak, tip of wings seems weak and eagles breast too. See photos and let me hear your comments Photos for both the MS and the XF coin is included[/QUOTE]
