<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1009516, member: 19423&quot;]You may disagree with Leadfoot&#039;s bluntness in his comments, but you should still consider what he says.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You maybe don&#039;t need to look at 1000 examples before buying, but if you want a better set you should learn the series.&nbsp; As Leadfoot sort of indicated, the thumb strike isn&#039;t really any indication of wear or the difference of a 64 to 65 on many dates.&nbsp; Some dates will have a flat thumb even on an MS66, while others you can find fully struck on AU examples.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t have the references myself, but I&#039;m sure there are some great Walker books out there that go through each date and will describe which ones will come fully struck and which ones it&#039;ll be hard to find fully struck.&nbsp; For the dates that often come weak, you will be able to find examples that are struck far better than average, but only if you know the date and have seen many examples of that date for comparison.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
