Are there certain dates of Mercury Dimes that are notorious for having a "weak" strike?

I know with Buffalo Nickels, Walking Liberty Halves and many others there are dates where a full strike is almost non-existent. I assume that is probably the same with Mercs, but I am having trouble remembering some the coin knowledge I learned from many years ago. Thanks for any help! :)

    Definitely agree about 1945-P. I haven't found a good strike in my price range, though I'm admittedly a little cheap.

    If you’re talking about full bands
    The 1926-S is one of the hardest to find without a doubt.
