<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 3284341, member: 73266&quot;]I&#039;ll try and explain what you are seeing. It&#039;s not the coin that clashes with the collar die, it is the hammer die that clashes with the collar die. That clash is then transferred to the coins struck by that hammer die. To understand how this happens, you, you have to understand how the coin press works.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that you&#039;ve seen coins that were struck with .misaligned dies, where the rim on one side of the coin is wider than the other. Well, for the hammer die to strike the collar, it would also be misaligned and would only strike the collar on one side. The more it is misaligned, the larger the collar clash.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
