Here is the auction. How would an actual "weak strike" differ from this damaged coin? For starters, I think a weakly struck 5c would have a full rim, since that is raised prior to striking--what else? keywords: 1990-P Jefferson nickel Weak Strike Thin Planchet eBay Report this Post to the Staff

For a true weak/adjustment strike, the strongest detail is typically found at the center of the coin with greater weakness towards the rim. Reeded coins will also have weak reeding. Center areas with fine detail(hair, feathers, etc) will retain that fine detail on a weak strike while wear will obliterate those fine details. A great example of a weak strike was posted a couple days ago- https://goccf.com/t/94964 Report this Post to the Staff
