<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 489836, member: 15309&quot;]I really like the term <span style="color: Blue">STRIKE SPREAD</span>.&nbsp; However, I disagree that Peace dollars have a small strike spread.&nbsp; There is a huge difference between the top and bottom coin IMO.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the strike spread is nearly as big as some other series, SLQ&#039;s, Lincolns, Jeffersons etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>My problem with the apparent exclusion of strike as an element of grading is that it is not done for the other elements.&nbsp; We hear all of the time that a coin has a grade limiting mark.&nbsp; In the case of the first two coins in this thread, would they not have grade limiting strikes?&nbsp; I just can&#039;t see the first coin grading as a gem with that combination of strikes and surface preservation.&nbsp; And the second coin should be limited to MS65 despite its other exemplary attributes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
