<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 8013393, member: 77413&quot;]That’s a really well struck 53-S. For members without one at hand to compare, here’s one that is much closer to full steps, but which I would readily swap for one with the incised details in the windows and other details.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why I wish they had chosen a metric other than Full Steps to describe the strike. It is obvious to me that the OP’s coin is much better, but I guess there is still room for alternate opinions. Edit: supplied full resolution photos so you can see the die wear and the resulting coin surface in microscopic detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1390031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1390030[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The worn dies do add to the luster because of the orange-peel surface that has developed.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1390012[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
