<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 5404205, member: 4920&quot;]Keep swinging, Richard. What you&#039;re seeing happened when the planchet was struck by the dies into a coin. We call it, &quot;strike doubling.&quot; Die doubling is on the die itself. This doubling wasn&#039;t. This doubling was imparted because the planchet slipped or hopped or slid but at any rate was jarred when the dies smashed into it. Yes, we can tell that just looking at it. These are minted very rapidly, like machine-gun fire. The collars securing the planchets get loose from all the heavy banging, and remnants like this are left. This is metal trying to leave an impression on metal, it&#039;s not like cutting fresh-baked cookies. It&#039;s a violent business, but someone has to do it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
