[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3367396, member: 56859"]That may be the case-- all of those little lines and indentions may have served as stress risers. Also, I may be wrong about the other benefits of the waffle punch. I thought it would more efficiently move metal into the obverse die but look at the eleven specimens... only one has a really nice strike. I don't think wear is responsible for the weak appearance of most of them. The obverse dies also look rather worn. I wonder what happened to the rest of this issue? Melted down and reused? Excellent anecdote :D It seems like it would be adequate and the abundant quadripartite reverses are more or less that idea.[/QUOTE]
