<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 490252, member: 5233&quot;]So, do you feel that all the coins in a series should be held to the same level?&nbsp; How do you set the standard for the series for strike quality.&nbsp; Do you go with the best struck in the series (ex: 1881-S Morgan) or the worst (ex: 1892-O Morgan) or somewhere in between.&nbsp; Then, do you just no have 1892-O&#039;s graded very high because across the board the strike is so poor?</p><p><br /></p><p>I disagree with this thought.&nbsp; MS means &quot;mint state&quot; and it&#039;s just that...the state the coin was in when it came from the mint.&nbsp; For coin&#039;s that came from the mint with terrible strikes, that&#039;s MS.&nbsp; Now, I think the highest grade values (67+) needed to have a decent strike (and for that reason there are many more 1881-S MS67+ coins than 1892-Os)...but I feel that strike is the least important category when it comes to MS coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
