<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 822216, member: 66&quot;]If you were to remove a die from the press you would get a &quot;coin&#039; struck on neither side.</p><p><br /></p><p>It IS possible to have a coin struck on one side only but it is very unusual.&nbsp; Two planchets have to enter the coining chamber at the same time.&nbsp; When this happens the struck side will be extremely sharp due to the increased pressure and the unstuck sides WILL NOT BE FLAT.&nbsp; Also the coin on the hammer die side will probably show a partial collar because with two planchet in the coining chamber, the planchet on the hammer side won&#039;t fit completely down in the chamber.</p><p><br /></p><p>The raised lump in the center of you unstruck side tells us it has had the one side milled off and they just didn&#039;t finish the milling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
