Spott Valued Member United States 263 Posts	Posted 05/11/2014 1:52 pm It is educational for the rest of us who are still learning coin-language. I was having fun sifting through the ten cent bin at a local coin shop yesterday, and I saw some Canadian pennies that were struck like this and I wondered what the proper words were for the difference. "Full strike" - now I know. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/11/2014 1:58 pm I may have used the wrong word "full" when I should have used "strong". A full strike may indicate a MS70 grade I am not sure but your coin does look like it had more then the usual pressure-tonnage when minted. I hope coop chimes in soon because he can explain much better then I. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
