    coin has a bulge in that area so it has to be more of a planchet fault,don't you think spp?

    A raised area on the coin, means a depression on the die...

    Trapped gas (in planchet) expands after strike,
    giving coin a bulge that may or not appear on both sides.is this not what happen here?

    Then how else do you explain having more than one coin with the mark in the same area, if not on the die itself??
