<p>[QUOTE="manny9655, post: 4995285, member: 112417"]I vote for weakly struck. The strike is weak on the higher relief portions of the coin. The portions that are lower are not affected as much. If it was circulation wear, it would have affected the other portions too (such as the date being worn off or almost so). Plus, if it was circulation wear, the rims would be not as sharp as they appear to be on this coin. Buffalo nickels I think were rather notorious for this, and so are 1921 Peace dollars in the area of the hairlines around Miss Liberty's ear. But I thought that Buffalos were more notorious for weak strikes during the 1920s...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
