The area covered by the planchet did not come into contact with the die, and thus is blank with the indent from wire/string.

Constrained by the collar, the coin metal had no option but to squeeze upward. There&#039;s a bit of horizontal lipping at the highest point of the vertical flange, which is also typical. There is damage to the flange on the obverse and damage to the reverse design rim opposite the flange.&quot;</i> - Mike Diamond</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]350699[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350701[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]350702[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]350703[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350704[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350705[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
