southern gold from what is posted too
I think in US coins the contenders are shield nickels, Jefferson nickels, Ike dollars and 1966 quarters.
If you're looking for something that just about never comes fully struck then the Ikes probably edge
out the Jeffersons for worst. If you're talking average quality then the '66 quarter is at the bottom.
Case in point;
Most-likely a calibration strike with the Obverse being struck by the Hammer Die and the Reverse being struck by the Anvil Die.
Notice, in the third image, that the edge did not strike-up at all. (Coin has proper weight, etc.).
But, in all honesty for a series, I would say the Buff's have the rest beet, unless you can count 1792 Half Dismes as a series...

that was my first thought, too
commoncents123, JrGMan2004, Coll3ctor (2), Dabigkahuna, BAJJERFAN, Boom, GRANDAM, newsman, cohodk, kklambo, seateddime, ajia, mirabela, Weather11am, keepdachange, gsa1fan, cone10
-------------------------
so far no one has it
at least according to PCGS
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
But for a series, my guess is Shield Nickels.
disclaimer: I know nothing about gold or anything older than 1866.

as far as others (modern) I'd guess, 1,2,3: walkers, slq, buffalo nickels
Who is Alex Trebek ?

That Roos. Dime you showed is damaged, and
not a weak strike or a filled die.
It's been grinded, not worn or weakly struck.
Thought you might want to know this.......sorry

That's what i was thinking at first, but if it was grinded wouldn't it's weight be off? Lostsisler states that the weight is correct, am i wrong with this thinking?
is going to be lighter than a normal clad dime.
Maybe his scale is off a bit - the coin has
met a machine, that's for sure. Notice
the lack of reeding on the edge - it's also
be removed....not a broadstrike, or anything
similar.....

the closest guess so far
but not right

While it's not a series in and of itself, of the coins post 1850, I'd guess the 1883 no cents nickel. I've yet to see a fully struck example, and unlike SLQs the detail WAS on the die.
Earlier coins, I'd guess liberty cap large cents. I've never seen a fully struck one of those either.

it's
Cappped Bust Half Dollars until
"the close collar and steam powered presses were introduced in 1836"
Do you agree with them?

I was thinking this, but only for the earlier dates. Also, many times the dies themselves were the reasons for incomplete designs being struck up iirc, not necesarily the 'strike'. But for earlier dates, definately!
Jefferson nickels would be my second. How 'bout that ramp up Monticello where I swore there were steps?
My observation on the copper-nickel Indian cents was they were really often poorly struck. A specialist like Mr. Snow would know better on the statistic there.

Not exactly. The close collars (I think) were used starting in 1828. This suggests that not all capped bust suffered from the same striking problem wrt the open collar.

I'm certain that the weight of the Dime
is going to be lighter than a normal clad dime.

The coins weight and the diameter is correct for a planchet.
The coin was struck while in a collar but was not struck with enough pressure to fill the collar die, so there is no reeding.
If the coin was damaged after it left the mint (as a fully-struck coin) then it would weigh less, the "grinded" portions would have copper showing through and the edge would show solid copper, without any of the cladding that is clearly evident.
Montgomery, Salzberg, Bonser, Herbert, Martin, Ellis and Dannreuther have all seen the coin and agree that it is an error. I have over five years of Coining experience so my explanation helped.
If you'd like to see it I can ship it to you, but it is not for sale... :-)

Numismatic news published a picture of a 1974 quarter some
years back with the reverse virtually ground flat. There was
just a little of the area between the eagle's legs which weren't
affected.
The coin did not show copper.
Of course, seeing the coin in hand is worth two points.
