<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 5802496, member: 19855&quot;]Correct, and I may be wrong, but the issue with them being weakly struck isn&#039;t a matter of &quot;not enough metal on either side&quot; as you mentioned in a previous post, but rather the dies kept prematurely cracking in early production. As a solution, the relief was significantly lowered to allow for the pressure to be substantial enough to have full striking capabilities and limiting cost to the mint for frequent die production. Tomato/tomata...point being the initial strikes were too hard to allow for good production standards and sacrifices were made...design relief being one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
