<p>[QUOTE="Duncan Doenitz, post: 2151424, member: 74025"]Well I'm no expert but one thing you might consider on these nickels is, because weak strikes occur it might help to look more closely at the rim, that might have been struck up better and give you more clues to how much wear has happened. I look at silver dollars the same way. However, you also need to decide if you prefer a weak strike that grades high versus a beautiful full strike with a bit of wear. That's why a strong strike and high grade combine to make a really outstanding coin, after all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
