[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 8421400, member: 20480"]A grease-filled die would not displace the upset rim on the planchet in the chamber. If anything, grease would fill the recesses of the lettering, and not make it appear stretched radially outward, as it appears to be. Because a planchet tapered in the calendering rolls of a rolling mill would typically exhibit a loss of material on both sides of the coin, I have reconsidered my original opinion, and now believe the planchet delaminated at the distorted area after upsetting the rim and before strike. To me, this most plausibly explains the radial stretching of the letters, the loss of the upset rim on that same side, and the preservation of detail and upset rim on the opposite side.[/QUOTE]
