[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3299168, member: 19250"]The coin is detail cleaned the weak strike is due to the alloy used...plus the extra thickness of the platchet. If you ever get a shield in hand it is hard to see but if you notice the coin is smaller by a fraction in diameter and also a tad bit thicker. Thus you had one heck of a hit from the die into the blank hit. If you get the opportunity to compare any other nickel series to a shield you'll see what I am saying.[/QUOTE]
