I question Grease here versus very circulated Quarter. Circulation and low strike worn, old Die. Rims are almost lost.

I agree with Struck Through Grease. It seems like the rim above LIB would be missing, just like the top of LIB (and other areas of the coin), if this were from circulation. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Something wasn't sitting right with me about this coin and so I've investigated and added another photo. I believe this could be a "low pressure strike" now. The edge has weak reeding and in some areas it is completely gone. The area of missing reading matches with the area of missing design on LIBERTY. Of course some of this is due to circulation wear but I think this makes a good case for a low pressure diagnosis.  "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

I agree that this is a weak strike.

Yes E&V, I was reading over that page earlier and it prompted me to take a closer look at the edge.

What are the tell tail signs that this coin is a weak strike and not a Greaser? John1 |

To answer John1, the design rim is not strongly developed and the reeding is quite weak.
