    Actually I'm a little confused about what "Typical strike" is suppose to mean. To me "weak strike" is fairly self explanatory as is "good strike". If WS is .3% and GS is 69% wouldn't you think TS would be closer to GS instead of 9%. Your statement was just a different way of saying the same thing with fewer words. The one thing I did take from the analysis concerning this particular date and type is that weak strikes are on the rare side ( 3 per 1000).

    I think if you ask him what Pope will tell you is this. The terms he uses to describe quality of strike apply to the series as a whole, meaning the entire date and mint range of Buffalo nickels from beginning to end. This is the same practice that everybody else uses when trying to describe quality of strike for any series.

    Typical strike in other words could be said to mean what is an "average" strike for the entire series.

    That makes sense Doug. Thanks for some clarification. I know the series as a whole had it's share of strike problems due to it's high relief.
