<p>[QUOTE="mikediamond, post: 36205, member: 1859"]It's all the same stuff, just different thicknesses and levels of coverage. Luster may vary, but the flattish design, the persistence of planchet streaks, and the weakening of peripheral design elements, all indicate the same material is involved. When coverage is heavy, the effective striking pressure is increased, and so the rim is very well struck and may be prolonged vertically into a "fin" as metal squeezes into the gap between die neck and collar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
