<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1695298, member: 11521&quot;]I am not saying the coin is a genuine double-struck error. But one explanation for the &quot;reverse being gone&quot; is the coin was struck and did not leave the coining chamber. A new planchet was placed in the collar and this previously-struck coin was situated on top of the planchet (slightly offset). When the dies came together the planchet below this coin acted like a die and flattened the raised features on the reverse of the coin. With two coins (rather, a coin and a planchet) in the coining chamber I would expect a much stronger strike for the second obverse strike (and a corresponding strong strike on the reverse of the bottom planchet (along with a nice brockage on the obverse)). </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not saying that is what happened. (I don&#039;t think it is a genuine error myself but I could be wrong.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
