Hi everyone. I thought it might be fun and educational if people would share pictures of coins that have an exceptional strike for a entire series. By that I mean, not a coin that overall has just an okay strike, but for that date has a good strike. I mean, a coin whose strike is an excellent representation of the complete (or as close as possible) design on the dies.
Let's try to keep it to business strikes.

The 1920's D & S minted Lincolns are notorious for worn dies and weak strikes. Typically the beard detail is weak on the obv and the upper letters (e pluribus umum) and "O" in ONE are mushy on the rev. This example is the most hammered one I've seen for this date.

A couple I have posted before.
Collector, occasional seller
PCGS MS65. Very close to a full strike.
PCGS MS63.
Nice ones!
Because of this thread I'm just now realizing this is probably the only half dime I have will all the dentils on both sides.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

Killer strike and luster for a '79-O Morgan...PCGS MS63 CAC...great thread.

This one has a little wear, but I think it is hammered for the design

nice AU 1921 I had once.

This one is really well struck especially for the type overall.
way down page 1.
does this mean I can start posting other people's pics of other people's coins?
Kinda crusty but really well hammered. The fields are scratched thus keeping it from a higher grade but still PL
MS-67 .25 Cent; over used statement but “looks much better in hand”.

Pretty good for a buff from this decade.
@ikeigwin Even as “hammered” as I am after a Halloween party I can say unequivocally that 1826 .50C is the nicest on this thread! Very nice.
