I call this the &quot;crater effect&quot; because it reminds me of an impact crater. However, a strikethrough will not show coin metal pushed up because the face of the die will prevent this from happening. I think I see coin metal pushed up toward the southwest in your first image, but I&#039;m not so sure about the other images because of the lighting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a Kennedy with a strikethrough (probably a piece of wire) and you can&#039;t see any evidence of the &quot;crater effect&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]708339[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
