<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 7361741, member: 87737&quot;]Here&#039;s what i see happened to the coin [USER=103066]@Evan Saltis[/USER] -</p><p><br /></p><p>First strike was successful, and that&#039;s most of what we see; a mostly complete obverse and reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin was ejected, but flipped over, and came to rest hanging over the striking chamber.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next planchet was put into the chamber, and the die struck. In the downward motion, the obverse die grabbed the edge of coin #1, and rather then getting clipped/sheared off, a portion of that coin (what you are referring to) made it to the chamber, was stretched by the die, and was struck with the obverse die, and smashed into the newly inserted planchet on the other side.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is somewhere out there is a sister coin, with the date missing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
