This is partly from axial mis-alignment. The (obverse) weakness is not a function of the die state&#039;. </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>So Breen at least thought the weakness on the lower obverse, and disappearance of the 1st star (on some examples) was due to misaligned dies, not to reverse die failure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
