I have had these quite a while with no pics. Thought I would catch up a little on the Roosie Clad's. These are the 2 No P varieties for the 1982-P coins. Strong and Weak. Both as you can see are only 64's. I need to upgrade both when I can. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Dimeman, ur weak stike looks like a weak/strong strike. Usually a weak strike is missing over half of the number 2 in the date.
I think it's misattributed.

Well after further looking at it, it's a very strong/weak strike and is probably correctly attributed. Wonder what other Roosie guys have to say.

I like this (strong) variety so much it represents my clad Roosevelt Dime spot in my Type Collection. Good on you for having both nice looking varieties.

The 82 no P is an interesting variety. I have one of the strongs in my collection.

Nice!
Cool, a major Key Variety! A beauty, Jon.

I would think most people would determine a weak strike vs. strong strike just by eyeballing it. In this case, the Weak example looks weak to me.
Keep in mind, the 1982 no P dime is only 1 die variety. Some are strongly struck, some weakly struck, but it's the same variety. Personally, I wouldn't agonize over the difference in strike strength. The difference in strike is less interesting than the variety, itself.
For some reason this variety interests me.

Cool coins you have there
Here is mine..
OGH Strong
(Sorry for the lint hairs on the slab in the first pic..DOH!
Nice pictures Jon...makes the difference between the two very clear...Cheers, RickO
If you look at the 2nd picture, in the 2nd paragraph it says there were 2 dies, not 1. These differences should be big and bold differences between the strong and weak strikes.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid the reference you cited is incorrect. You need not take my word for it - look at the coins, and see for yourself.
The weak and strong strike coins have matching die markers (primarily, die polishing lines) on both the obverse and reverse. There was only 1 1982 no P obverse die, and it was paired with 1 reverse die (in other words, there was only 1 die marriage).
Take a look at my post on an earlier thread for more details:

You can enlarge the images by right clicking them and selecting "Open image in new tab". If you want to see more images, there are plenty on Coinfacts.
Still not sure?
Watch the die polishing line going from "Y" to Roosevelt's hair. It matches on both the weak and strong examples. Look around and you will see other die polishing lines that match (in the fields and on Roosevelt's head & hair) - you just have to look more carefully to see them on the weak example.
The reverse is full of die polishing lines that match on both weak and strong strike coins, so I did not bother to make a GIF of that.
Great research @IkesT. I always assumed they were all from the same die, but now we know.
