<p>[QUOTE="raider34, post: 739184, member: 16402"]It's from the pressure, it stretched out the design on the obverse.

Another giveaway is the obverse rim, part of it has been flattened out because of the other coin, and the second hit wasn't as centered so it left an impression of the rim on your coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
