<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1407399, member: 15309&quot;]I see no reason why a planchet flaw would stop the metal from flowing into the recesses of the die (lettering).&nbsp; What is odd is that you have a huge remnant planchet flaw in the field of the coin.&nbsp; Typically planchet flaws remain in the deepest recesses of the die (eg. the jaw of a Jefferson Nickel).&nbsp; My guess is that the flaw on this planchet was much more severe before striking and what you are seeing is what is left.&nbsp; It shouldn&#039;t be too hard to strike away a planchet flaw in the field of a gold coin unless it was very deep.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
