<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1149307, member: 26302&quot;]I think labeling a coin that is supposed to have centration dimples a fake if they are not seen is a little harsh Doug. I have a couple provincials where the dimple is only obvious on one side, but under careful viewing you can see traces of them on the other. I have seen high end coins in auctions where the dimple should be but they were not there. It depends, (to me), on the amount of smoothing of the flan required and size of flan. The less smoothing required would lessen the dimple to begin with, while smaller flans it would be easier for the strike force to eliminate traces of it. No dimple would be a cause of concern, but I wouldn&#039;t throw a coin under the bus without looking more closely, looking at the edge for how much smoothing was done, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion. I do agree with your take on why they are present on the coins of course. Seems to be a lot of work for a minor coin, though the mint did profit well from striking subsidiary coins I suppose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
