<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2554665, member: 1892&quot;]You know what? You&#039;re likely right. I originally thought it a delamination which the act of striking forced loose - that&#039;s not hard to envision - but your post made me realize the center of the &quot;delaminated&quot; D is metal, not a void. I would expect a strike-induced delamination to leave an outlined letter rather than a complete strip of metal - the edges of the center - a positive on the die - should have cut the lamination in that area. The only way for it to appear like that is if it were a complete, independent piece of metal before the strike. </p><p><br /></p><p>So it may still be a delamination, but methinks if so it was originally part of another planchet. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
