<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1290295, member: 24633&quot;]No disrespect intended toward Mike, but &quot;because I said so&quot; is not good enough for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Suppose that massive die failures did occur on both the obverse and reverse dies. We know that the metal flow is normally controlled by the obverse die, reverse die and the retaining collar. Now, if a die break occurred on just one of the dies, we know that the metal flow has to go into that void and the strike on the legend of the opposite die would be weak. However, if both dies failed, it would be harder to predict where the metal would flow. Isn&#039;t it possible that the metal flowed to form the cuds, leaving a void (gap) along the edge?</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, no one has yet provided an answer to why the metal appears to be raised in the fields. We all know that you can grind a coin &quot;down&quot;, but when was the last time you saw someone grind a coin &quot;up&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
