numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11886 Posts	Posted 11/26/2019 2:28 pm In spite of that small hit, I like how well struck the reverse is. The '66, a first year of issue, was well known for having a weak reverse strike due to the Rays which prompted a design change the following year. This example exibits a beautiful full reverse strike. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18664 Posts	Posted 11/27/2019 10:49 am I'm at VF20 on this one. all the obverse leaves are separated despite the weak strike. several of the stars have centers. the 5 is bolder than a F coin. the only issue I see is the hit on the reverse. as mentioned these coins are notorious for weak strikes on both sides.
