<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1018644, member: 2972&quot;]I think you will find this feature on most coins from the 20th century, particularly around the middle of the century.&nbsp; Before that, for some reason, the planchets didn&#039;t have this effect to the same extent even when weakly struck.&nbsp; I would hazard a guess, not being a mint process expert or even aficionado, that they handled the planchets in a certain way to cause this and the weakly struck coins from this period exhibit this as a result.&nbsp; All IMO, and based on my own observations, of course, while recognizing there are diverging viewpoints on this issue in particular.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
