<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7883053, member: 112&quot;]While I readily agree about the left arm and hand being used by many to judge quality of strike on Walkers, to me it&#039;s no different than any special strike designation such as FS, FH, FT, etc- which in my opinion are basically worthless, meaningless when it comes to judging quality of strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>When one is judging quality of strike, you have take ALL details on both sides of the coin into account ! Not just one small area.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, on Jefferson nickels all 6 steps may be there, full, complete and unbroken. But if windows are missing or barely capable of being seen, or portions of the handrails are missing or barely capable of being seen - how in the world could anyone ever say the coin was well struck ??? I mean you simply can&#039;t say it - it&#039;s impossible !</p><p><br /></p><p>And the very same kind of thing has to be applied to all coins when judging quality of strike. The entire design has to be taken into account before one can say with any meaning at all that a coin is well struck. And to say something like, oh well it&#039;s well struck for a nickel - I say horse puckey ! </p><p><br /></p><p>On Walkers you simply have to judge everything, the hand and arm, the lines in the drapery, the branches details (on both sides), the eagle&#039;s feathers (all of them), the talons - everything ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
