Split-plate doubling where the strike pressure stretched that thin plating.</p><p>3. Die deterioration on reverse rim lettering (second T/STATES, among others).</p><p><br /></p><p>This is also known as a weak strike, but don’t confuse it with examples of struck through grease (STG), which can give similar anomalies.&nbsp; As [USER=81795]@Dynoking[/USER] explained, there just wasn’t enough metal available for the pressure applied and is very common for copper plated zinc (CPZ)…imo…Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
