<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 946165, member: 23626&quot;]OK, call me stupid. But I clearly see inside the mint mark the back of the D with the serif as well as the curved portion outside to the east and southeast. I sure looks like a stamp and a stamp over. I don&#039;t understand how it can be such a precise air bubble following those exact lines. I mean, since it is an air bubble in the lamination, what caused it to hold the exact shape of the D underneath the Mark ? The angle of the 2 D&#039;s is also confusing to me. I don&#039;t understand why if it caused by suction of the die being removed the mark is rotated. I mean doesn&#039;t the die go straight up from the surface of the coin ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am not trying to be argumentive at all. I am just trying to understand the actual mechanics of the process. I have never watched a coin being stamped, and my knowledge only comes through interaction with you guys and what I can read for myself. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But as I am asking, how could an air bubble in the lamination follow such exact lines ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for everyone&#039;s patience,</p><p>Gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
