The images don't show that this coin has full luster, even on the center weak areas.

I know s mints are notorious for weak strikes, but yours takes the cake!

I always wonder why someone would send those in.

I agree with PCGS... 62% of that coin is Mint State and the other 38% is circulated!

Surprisingly nice steps for a mushy strike in combination with excessive die wear.

I submitted bacause I thought it was cool. Some day you may learn it is not always about the money.

Extremely weak stikes are great conversation pieces and far more interesting than the common run of the mill full strikes.

A very weak head, and corresponding knot on wreath on reverse. Rest of the coin is well struck:

Four years ago, a dealer offered me a PCGS MS60 1893S Morgan dollar. I had a remarkably weak strike, almost no marks of any kind, and NO luster.
It was a light gray in color, and appeared to have been WAAAAY overdipped. I passed.

Here's a PCGS MS66. I tried but couldn't enjoy this one. Larry S. was good to take it off my hands. He later told me DW loved it and bought it. It does have wonderful frost.

If the center areas have no design evident due to a weak strike, how can there be full luster on those areas?

I found this one looking in roll's. But did not send it in yet.
