    1907 Nickel Weak Strike why not a DIE TRIAL

    Hello to all! Been collecting for some time now and cannot figure out the difference between some coins being a die trial and others weak strike.
    The coin in question clearly has weak edges and I would consider a late stage Die Trial.
    Any idea of value would be helpful

    Weak strike is the best term for this type of error as there are several reasons a coin can be weakly struck. Die adjustment strike and die trial are ultimately unprovable compared to any of the other scenarios that also can cause a weak strike.
