<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 3027554, member: 73224&quot;]Struck through grease.&nbsp; Because, of the rim.&nbsp; The rim on your coin is showing a misaligned die strike.&nbsp; See how the rim is larger on one side.&nbsp; When the blank went through the upset mill it would have put a rim on the coin.&nbsp; That rim would be beveled on the inside of the rim and the same width all the way around the coin.&nbsp; When the die strikes the coin a more vertical rim is formed.&nbsp; Your coins die was misaligned in the horizontal axis.&nbsp; Meaning side to side.&nbsp; Your rim is not what comes from the upset mill.&nbsp; Your planchet took a full strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you read the reference on die adjustment then you would see the author does not believe collectors will see the coins that were produced during the adjustment of the die(s).&nbsp; When the press operator is adjusting the die(s) the coins that are struck are discarded to be melted later.&nbsp; That is why the author doesn&#039;t believe coins have die adjustment errors.&nbsp; Not that there are not nefarious acts from the mint, this is just not one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
