wilsonwu89 Pillar of the Community Canada 706 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 07:36 am Is this anything special? I thought PL coins are double struck to get a nice clear finish? This is a 1980 quarter I'm throwing on the ebay soon. Is there anything special about it? Report this Post to the Staff

Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 2:34 pm is it that weakly struck in the middle, or is it just the picture? Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 4:28 pm Everything on that reverse is super weak....look at those denticles. Looks completely unfilled as if the pressure was way low on the strike.. Can we also see the obverse..? Report this Post to the Staff

wilsonwu89 Pillar of the Community Canada 706 Posts	Posted 01/03/2017 9:10 pm Hi, it is not just the photo. When I was prepping all my coins for sale, I noticed the 1980 looked very weak. Here's the obverse. Looks normal to me. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 6:10 pm Welcome to the 1980s... even specimen strike coins can look like that... (1978 nickel dollar specimen strike, as an example).
