<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 1508683, member: 31773&quot;]Most &#039;43 Cents are surprisingly well-struck. This is a conundrum that I too have wondered about. It seems like striking steel planchets would take a lot more pressure and also cause a lot more die wear, and since it was being done in wartime I&#039;d also expect a bit more &quot;shoddiness&quot; to be allowed, meaning that dies would be pushed longer with more wear allowed, etc. But most of the &#039;43&#039;s I&#039;ve seen have few issues other than the well-known die polishing issues. Hopefully someone else has further insight into this as I would love to hear from an authoritative source why this is the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
