<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 10502793, member: 84179&quot;]Think about it.&nbsp; Tons of striking pressure is going to flatten anything flush to the surface. The fact that it&#039;s raised tells you it couldn&#039;t have been on the surface when the coin was struck.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And if any recrystalization of the alloy would have occurred (and there is nothing in the alloy that would form those platelets), it could only have occurred during the alloying or annealing (very unlikely) processes and both of those are done well before a coin is struck.&nbsp; There is nothing after those process steps where new compounds could form.</p><p><br /></p><p>Striking is the last manufacturing step (except for packing and shipping) so an error isn&#039;t going to occur after that step.&nbsp; Go and Google struck through errors and you will easily see that the surfaces are flush with the surface (for accuracy, a huge chunk of scrap may be raised, but that&#039;s rare and the stuff on your coin isn&#039;t anywhere close to those sizes)</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
