the coin is interesting, the mark on the coin at the jaw is not incuse, but the mark in the right field is.

would this be considered a strong, medium or weak strike?

sorry for the photo quality, my DSLR setup is down. I increased the sharpness to mask to highlight any marks, most of which are not visible in hand

A solid '55 S. Nice color, shows some light dings and a hint of wear. I'd go with MS63.

I'll say 64RD. Many tiny issues, but most of them would all but disappear in the coin's actual size.

A somewhat strong strike.

Really it is an early die state with almost optimal spacing. The "O" in One is a bit weak, a sign of less than optimal die spacing. Though no where near bad die spacing.

ONe tell is that the triangle of the bowtie is not complete.
Rest in Peace
