Weak Edge Lettering vs Partial Edge Lettering ??

Does anybody on the forums know where to go to get guidance on exactly what constitutes the difference between Weak Edge Lettering and Partial Edge Lettering on the Presidential Dollars??

It seems to me that there must be some absolute definition somewhere.

Missing Edge Lettering = All of the Edge lettering is missing (DUH!)

Partial Edge Lettering = At least one or more letters are missing (Completely missing or only half missing??) (What?)

Weak Edge Lettering = ________________________________

The difference between partial and weak must have some absolute guidlines. In other words, if the lettering is lightly impressed, is that Weak? (Possibly but PCGS doesn't seem to think so.......)

How about if part of a letter is missing? Is that Weak or Partial? I mean, if only half the letter is there it's partial right? Or would that be weak?

Anybody know for sure??
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Partial Edge - At least one FULL letter/number is missing. Half missing won't get a "Partial Edge" designation
    Weak Edge - The jury is still out. I have some PCGS graded, light ones, some almost gone lettering coins and a few in between AND Lots of PCGS rejects as well! I can't really define this one. I can only go by what I have that has graded. However I have coins that have been rejected that are WEAKER than some of the graded coins that I have in hand....Go figure !!

    This is why I would like some PCGS guidance on this subject.

    Weak?

    Yes, Its weak....But I had some like that that CAME BACK as rejects !!!

    So far I have only a handful of PCGS graded weak edge lettering coins to go by.

    I wish I knew what to expect. Rejects are getting expensive.
