<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lincoln64, post: 15424, member: 1232&quot;]Could it have occured DURING the strike? The reason I ask is that when I look at it under a loupe, the hole on the obverse looks undisturbered while the other side seems to have metal built up around it, but it looks like the metal has been stamped flat. Also, on the obverse there is a a pocket between the hole and the rim, whic could be a planchet defect because the rest of the coin is smooth. It obviously wasn&#039;t drilled because the hole on the obverse is smaller than the hole on the reverse. You can&#039;t see it in the picture but with a loupe you can see that the hole actually has tapered sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its hard to explain but it looks like something went in the obverse and exited the reverse, but was under pressure when it happened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
