<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3085318, member: 92083&quot;]As many of you know, I collect many types of cool errors, in particular, wrong planchet, double/multiple strikes, off-metal, wrong stock, broadstrikes, plating errors,&nbsp; off-centers, unstruck blanks and planchets, and coins struck on blanks (no rim).</p><p><br /></p><p>I notice so many coins struck on rimless blanks often are either missing features or have weak strikes on parts of the coin. (Oftentimes, the missing/weak areas are always in the same places for certain denominations.)</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is this: Is the reason they tend to have missing features/weak strikes in certain areas because not having the rim makes it slightly larger, and thus it sits in the collar slightly angled? And then because it doesn&#039;t lay perfectly flat, it can&#039;t be struck properly and directly head on to display all the features prominently? (Similar to if a rubber was stamped on an angle, part of the features would be strong and part would be missing or weak?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
