LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1278 Posts	Posted Today 6H 55M ago 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? Report this Post to the Staff

publius Pillar of the Community United States 869 Posts	Posted Today 2H 10M ago As a general rule, I would definitely prefer a well-struck specimen with some circulation wear to a poorly-struck UNC coin. I prefer detail lost by doing the work coins are made for, to detail that was never there to begin with. On the other hand, one of my favourite coins is not particularly well struck, though it has a pretty amazing reason. So far as I can tell, this coin was struck in the process of setting up the coining presses at the Bangkok Mint, which had been ordered from Heaton in Birmingham, along with dies, by King Mongkut for his project of replacing the "bullet money" ticals by a European-style round, flat coinage.
