<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2940638, member: 15199"]The die that has the original lettering on it undergoes a spreading after 100,000s of compresses under very high pressure. This causes the devices, lettering numbers and profiles to spread on the metallic face of the dies. Usually it spreads evenly, but sometimes the spread is off center or more exaggerated in one area due to slight differences in the press machine itself ( machine vibration, etc, ) or the thickness of the region on the coin. This may "stretch" the letters towards the rim or produce "doubling effects" on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
