<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1421690, member: 11521&quot;]Typical weakness in the strike. Look at the obverse directly opposite this area (the lower portion of Liberty&#039;s bust). A lot of metal has to flow into the recesses of both dies at this location. These coins were struck on a screw press and very often did not have enough pressure to fully strike up CBHs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Look at areas of the reverse where the field is located on the corresponding spot on the obverse. These areas are almost always fully-struck because metal does not have to flow into recesses of the obverse die so the metal can flow into the recesses of the reverse die. (In other words, where the dies are further apart the coin can be weakly struck and where the dies are closer together the coin is usually fullt struck.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
