OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 12:03 am I've been looking over a lot of Peace dollars and I've noticed that even on ones with minimal wear, the reverse letters are weak, Is this just the way they are? Report this Post to the Staff

Freedom Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 09:17 am I agree also, even my MS-64 has a weak "Peace" strike on the bottom...... This is the reverse of a 1926 Peace in MS-64.. Edited by Freedom 07/19/2012 09:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 12:27 pm With some patience you can find Peace dollars with a relatively decent strike and when you do expect to pay a bit more than one with the typical poor strike if the dealer is paying attention and recognizes a better than average coin.

Probably not so much that - the weakness in Peace dollar strikes is at the periphery. Look at a few of them. You'll see flattening of LIBERTY towards the rim, and on the reverse PEACE will be weak. A full set of Peace dollars in MS63 or better, with what can be considered a "full strike," is a difficult accomplishment indeed. Report this Post to the Staff
Freedom Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 09:12 am I have seen MS64 coins and above that have weak strikes around the periphery. They just didn't pay much attention or didn't care when they were making them. They were probably celebrating to much... :) Report this Post to the Staff
BuffalosRock Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 1:33 pm Yup! UNC Walkers also sometimes have some really weak strikes of either obv or rev. Seems to happen more with "busy" silver designs than others - in general. Report this Post to the Staff
