<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 3026971, member: 73983&quot;]The nickel planchet is thicker than the quarter planchet.&nbsp; It&#039;s diameter is slightly smaller.&nbsp; It looks as if the planchet was nearest or in contact with the collar at the 11 o&#039;clock position in relation to the obverse.&nbsp; As the dies came together to strike the planchet, the reeding was impressed on that edge as the metal was forced to displace up against the collar.&nbsp; The strong details on both the obverse and reverse are due to the thicker planchet.&nbsp; As the dies squeezed the planchet, the edge that was furthest from the collar never quite made it to the collar.&nbsp; That is why that edge is still flat.&nbsp; Although I am a bit surprised it didn&#039;t develop a bit of a curved edge from the upsetting of the planchet.&nbsp; The metal also was able to flow out causing the slight distortion to the design details, similar to what you see in a clipped planchet error.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you error experts will correct me if I am wrong.&nbsp; I am making a totally educated guess on this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
