<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 26794959, member: 23692&quot;]MD is when the coin gets a little loose in the holder, however minor.&nbsp; In the millisecond after the good strike, the die will move a little in one direction or rotation as the die rises up off the planchet.&nbsp; It will leave what is called a shadow or shelf-like image of the design on one side of it.&nbsp; Depending on how loose you can get a good shadow/shelf, but sometimes just a little.&nbsp; Once a worker tightens the holder, no more MD.&nbsp; On some dates/denominations it&#039;s not uncommon[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
