I primarily collect
Peace dollars and walkers. In these series there are quite a few years/mm that typically are weakly struck. I actively target these "typically weak struck" coins as I find it to be a fun hunt to look for the few that have a solid strike.
Anyway I really don't see much competition at all. You could put a well struck
Peace dollar side by side with a weak one and as long as the labels are the same (ex ms63), there's zero premium. Feels like almost everyone on
ebay buys the holder and not the coin. How much do you let a coins strike quality weigh into your decision to buy it or not?
