Are there any resources that explain which years/mint coins had poor strike quality? For example 1921 Peace dollars and certain other S mints have weak strikes typically. The Red Book doesn't go into this level of detail. I'm mainly interested in info on silver dollars, half dollars, and dimes produced in the 1900s.

You will need to do some searching n specialty sites for each coin. There is plenty of Info abut Morgan dollars. Anything specific.

You'll need to learn the difference between a weakly struck coin and a worn coin too.

You topic is subject to so many variations that an answer is not easy.
-- Metal: nickel is the hardest; gold is the softest
-- Age: the 1800's had a LOT more striking problems than today's coins
-- Mint: New Orleans coins in general were less well struck
-- Cycles: WL Halves in the 1940's were less well struck

Start mixing those conditions together and strike quality REALLY varies.
That's when you need a guide dedicated to specific issues to get a feeling for strike quality.
