Uncirculated? Weak strike?

Looking for an opinion :-) I'd like to think it's uncirculated, but some of the details seem weak.

Looks MS64 to me.

Cascade, your 1 franc's strike is typical for the date. The bun, or hair curl above the face is most often encountered fairly flat on all silver after the mid-1950s. More production resulted in turning down the pressures to lengthen die life.

Your example may actually have some very minor wear, but that is not easily ascertainable from an image. However, the rim chatter, drag marks on the left forearm point to that possibility. Otherwise, it seems fairly clean, and could indeed be as high as an MS65 depending on the actual luster present.

FWIW, the 1931 below is pretty much a fully struck example. The obv. is prooflike and the rev. is from a normal, frosty die.

The strike is alittle flat but without question the coin is MS

Thanks for the opinions, and thanks MacCrimmon for the nice example! Now I want to get a fully struck one!

I managed an image that is a little better after diffusing my light a bit more. Trying to resist the sharpen filter...
