Same year? Or same series?

PCGS MS67 Very strong strike!
PCGS MS67+ Very weak strike.
Edit for: Don't own any worn out coins.
I like to think of coins such as the worn Peace dollar as having done their decades-long jobs of greasing the wheels of the US economy. Imagine all of the purchases that were made with that coin.
No rules.
Roll with what looks good to you.

Even more so, the stories such a coin could tell.

Thats the strongest strike on a Peace I've ever seen. When did you pick this one up?

The cheekbone and the reverse wheatears (including the flow lines on the second cent). . . What a difference between well struck and weakly stuck.

This 1800 half dime is absolutely hammered for the type.
Most of the time, they are struck like this.
Here is the lowest grade piece in my early half dime set, It's a VG-8. It is the 1796 over 5 overdate which is a scarce coin. I'd love to upgrade it, but I have not seen one that I could afford.
This was the first U.S. overdate coin. It's not very obvious, but it is an overdate.
Those look awesome side-by-side!

I have lots of good examples for strike, but this is two with some variation of color and strike of the same series…
Both are lovely, original coins… 🥰

Here is another example, pretty extreme, first is my example in a fine-12 with an exceptional strike, even with all the wear, notice the stars and the eagle on the reverse…
This next example is from CoinFacts, MS65, which I agree with, however look at the stars and eagle on the reverse!
As bad as the center of the reverse is, the outer perimeter of the coin is hammered to the extreme, a fascinating coin! I wish it was mine!

In the poor strike dept, there’s this one. Looks like it’s on the verge of melting:
Bean notwithstanding.
Anyone: there was a great article in greysheet some 12-15 years ago that analyzed the difficulties with the teens/twenties Lincoln cent issues from the SF mint. I can’t seem to find my copy & can’t seem to get them to respond about this back issue. If any member has this, or can point to the date it came out, it would be much appreciated! I do recall the 1913-S date often had a “mushy” strike.

Strong strike.
Worn-out strike.
I wouldn't even call that a strike. Looks like an ice cream sandwich lol
