<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3191811, member: 112"]Yeah, but it's still not the reason and can't be. For one, if it was it would have happened all the time - it didn't. Two, as I mentioned before, that specific location of the reverse is lower than the points immediately adjoining it. So if there wasn't enough metal, then it would be the higher points that did not get filled (struck up) not the lower points. And three is the strike was weak then all the adjoining areas would be weak too, but they aren't they are well struck. Very well struck even. Look at the very bottom of the leg, the top of the talon. Even the finest detail is there !</p><p><br /></p><p>And with this coin, we're not just talking about weak details - which would be the case if there were not enough metal.
