[QUOTE="900fine, post: 489775, member: 6036"]Another thought... Let's take a look at a given series and find the best and worst strikes known. Let's call the difference the "strike spread". Now we take any coin in that series and see where it is in the sliding scale of strike spread (say 0-10). A poorly struck series has a small strike spread, since even the best coins aren't that good. A series known for strong strikes will have lemons, so the difference between best and worst is much larger - a larger strike spread. A series with small strike spread would have [I]less[/I] of the total grade due to strike, since there is less strike variance. Peace dollars are in this category. Strike has [I]less[/I] weight, but not [I]zero[/I] weight. Anyway... I'm just thinking out loud. :loud::whistle: Any comments ?[/QUOTE]
