<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 489798, member: 4381&quot;]As for the premise, strike is counted in the ANA guild above 65, as it says it should have a strong strike.&nbsp; So in theory anything 65 and above must consider the strike, but also within context of the year and mint of the coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, IMO, strike isn&#039;t emphasized enough and I find that quit puzzling.&nbsp; A coin born an ugly duckling should remain an ugly duckling.&nbsp; Strike to me is the single largest factor of a coins condition and attractiveness.&nbsp; Grading is so fixated on post mintage damage that they nearly forget about the strike, especially in the AU and below class.&nbsp; I also think the single number grading system is flawed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Its flawed in Ice Skating, it is flawed in coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had my dithers we would have a triple number grading system:&nbsp; Strike, Wear, and Surface[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
