Sharp strike vs. weak strike, which would you choose ?
![Skipper53](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/authoricons/icon_Peace26.gif)
Hypothetical situation,
You find two coins of the same year and mintmark.
#1 is weakly struck but has few visible problems.
#2 is sharply struck but has several marks and scratches.
Both coins cost the same.
Which would you choose for your collection ?

I'd wait for another.

I tend to favor strong strike/early die state. As long as the "problems" weren't spots, I'd probably go with the strong strike.
I guess my answer would depend on the specific coin. sorry for the non-commital reply.

I'd wait for the 3rd coin to arrive on the market

I know that someone will say "I've got to see the hand on my Walker or I'll just hate it." IMO, it's not that important.

Man, I've just got to see the hand on my Walker.

Absolutely!!!!!!
I probably would pass either of these problems on the newer coin issues unless the coin happened to be outstanding in some respect.
