<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2390978, member: 1892&quot;]Part of good coin design is understanding the interplay between obverse and reverse designs, and how metal moves &amp; fills features during the strike. You can plan for it somewhat, but you won&#039;t really know how it strikes up until you actually strike them. Lincoln Wheats had a big problem with this as well - note how often you see the upper left quadrant of the reverse weakly struck, directly opposite the lower left of the bust on the obverse. There just wasn&#039;t enough planchet metal available to fill all that area away from the center of the coin, that quickly. </p><p><br /></p><p>Almost all coin designs can work if you strike them slowly enough. Not all work at production speeds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
