Never fails - some say wear - others will claim weak strike. Some say weak strike - others will say wear. Anybody got a link that would clear this up?
I say this one is wear, especially on reverse.

Apologize for editing my earlier post - didn't realize I edited out that part. I'm sure another member will be able to explain better than I about CBH strike issues.
Personally, I think this one could grade VF-25 to VF-30. I feel the reverse has a weaker strike than the obverse.

In my mind there's no doubt the reverse suffered from striking weakness - the wear pattern is just too uneven. I might be talk down to VF-20, but absolutely not less.

When I graded it VG a few years ago, I was either 1 - Very conservative with the grading 2 - Had zero knowledge of the series I'd likely pick #2  |

Years past the quality of strike never use to be considered in the grading. It is now.

Here's a PCGS VF20 - do you want to argue weak strike and tell me PCGS will grade these BOTH at 20? Just trying to figure this weak strike crapola out.   Should state this coin is from a seller I follow on ebay. Edited by Mark1959

If Marks coin is VF20, I'm at F or less with the OP's coin. Am I the only one thinking the color is not right? I thinking it's been cleaned. Nice coin Mark!  ! Edited by USSID18

I wish it was mine. A guy I have dealt with before and follow as a seller has it up on ebay. Figured it would be a good caparison seeing PCGS graded this at 20. Edited by Mark1959

I don't know about PCGS, but like Coinfrog, you couldn't talk me down below VF-20. The OP coin shows a weak strike on the reverse. Would be great if AcesKings or paralyse can comment on this.

Taka a look at the rims and denticles on the coin in question. That's rub not strike. f-12 here.
