<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adelv_unegv, post: 340447, member: 7247&quot;]Yeah, I wuz lookin at that too, Doug.&nbsp; But I don&#039;t see how it could be from strike.&nbsp; The &quot;7&quot; of 1917 is raised - well, part of it is.&nbsp; Even though the, um, planchet, is noticeably thinner there.&nbsp; And none of the design elements seem to be making a &quot;run for the border.&quot;&nbsp; I&#039;ve been tricked by that before with pics ( <i>Cf</i>.: <a href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=31750" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=31750" rel="nofollow">http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=31750</a> )&nbsp; </p><p>I also noticed that the design rim between GOD and WE is out of round which suggests post strike.&nbsp; And the pic you reposted <i>seems</i> to show a hint of the design rim in the smushed area but higher than where is should be.&nbsp; If it was strike the rim would be circular ( the dies are circular).&nbsp; If it was post strike the smushing would displace the metal at expansion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to go with the diagnostics I see.&nbsp; I agree with the previous posts: Post Strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
