I do not have any pictures. I only have a chance of buying one in the future and I don't know the difference between the two varieties.

Does the strong or weak designation refer to the strike?

Thanks for your quick responce.
I am looking at two NGC examples of an 1858/7 cent, one strong and one weak, and they look identical.

In all reality if you get a nicer die state "weak" overdate it's cheaper and looks the exact same
