Here's a few examples of better strikes I've picked up recently.

23-s with nice toning. Ms63 Not a hammer strike but nice for the year/mm.

Another 23-s ms64

Finally a nice 22-s ms63

I hope this helps someone. Nice strikes are out there. Don't settle!

I think the market speaks for itself on many coins, that's why you have designations like FSB on Mercury dimes, FH on SLQ, FBL on Franklin halves, etc.

Personally I prefer a well struck coin, bit will settle for a lesser strike for series known for it.

As many here know, one of my interests is Bust Half dollars. The early years are known to have striking problems. Here are both ends of the spectrum for 1810....

A pretty well struck one (O-110)

And a pretty poorly struck one (O-102)
