<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2254733, member: 56859&quot;]For many manufacturing techniques, the dies were not fixed in their positions.&nbsp; The obverse die was on (or part of) the anvil, and the reverse die was hastily placed on the flan.&nbsp; If the reverse die was not placed squarely on the flan, the reverse would be off-center proportionately but the obverse would be centered.&nbsp; If the flan wasn&#039;t placed perfectly on the anvil, both sides would likely be off but it is possible for just the obverse to be off.&nbsp; If the hammer struck off-center, the strike would be uneven.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
