Is this a weak strike or wear? One side is crisp and the other lacking detail.

I'm thinking much circulation wear--given the posted pics.

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Might be the difference between the state of dies between the obverse and reverse. I see this more in cents minted in the 20s.

It's not wear. The reverse was intentionally buffed outside the Mint.
