mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 08/26/2024 6:59 pm I was advised that the reverse has a weak strike which is the reason I retook another shot of the lower stars. I don't know how a weak strike affects the grade in general or if there actually is evidence of one. My questions are what is the grade and how does one detect a weak strike if present? The star at 4 o'clock does have all the lines although feint. Report this Post to the Staff
