I know Dahlonaga had some weak strikes but NITED?

P.S. This coin is in the Long Beach Heritage auction but I have nothing to do with it other than wishing it was mine.

    Not a weak strike, imho.
    Looks more like a grease filled (or other cause) die.

    Typical D mint strike for a type 3 gold dollar. These coins were struck on very thin planchets which means there wasn't much metal to fill the design recesses of the dies.

    This is good to know PerryHall
    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.



    The name is LEE!

    I wouldn't consider that a weak strike, but a defective die (likely filled with grease or foreign debris).
