. They sure aren't tough on 1921 Peace dollars..a lot of the 64s and 65s I see are laughable given the extremely weak strikes. Then you'll see a 62 with an amazing strike.


That makes perfect sense actually. Strike isn't the determination of a grade it's only a minor part of it. A lower graded coin can absolutely be a better strike than a coin graded higher that has better luster and surfaces and fewer marks.

I've always found that so strange..strike is important to me. It's extremely challenging to find certain dates/mm with good strikes so IMO it should be a factor in grade. I guess it's good news for cherry pickers that it isn't a factor though.

But it is a factor with grade, except just within that date and mint. A coin could get a 64 instead of a 65 because of a poor strike for that date and mint, everything else being equal. At least that's the way I perceive it anyway.

It is a part of the grade just a minor part. It's not going to make a 62 be graded higher than a 65 or vice versa. Where you will see the difference is in the market. If you have two ms 65s where all else is equal besides the stoke the better strike will sell for more and sometimes significantly more especially if it's a date/mm known for weak strikes.
