<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2795976, member: 1892&quot;]A stiff collar strike, by definition, isn&#039;t capable of manifesting all the way around the circumference of the coin because one of the prerequisites is an off-center placement of the planchet. On the other hand, a bezel/encasement <b>does</b> affect the entire periphery of the coin, and many of them are put in place by a mechanical press with <i>more</i> than sufficient power to distort the rim during the process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Typical jewelry bezels don&#039;t use such force to hold a coin, but the encasements used with &quot;Lucky Penny&quot; coins do. It&#039;s not very &quot;Lucky&quot; if the coin falls out down the road, so they take no chances. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
