<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1427699, member: 11521&quot;]Please post a good photo so we can understand what it is that you are describing. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I am understanding you correctly you think the copper core (visible along the edge of the coin where the reeding is located) is smeared toward the obverse instead of the reverse. I can tell you that when blanks for clad coins are punched out the copper in between the clad layers can smear over one of the clad layers. The blanks are then processed (annealed, run through the upset mill, cleaned, etc.) before they are fed into a coin press to be struck. The orientation of the planchets when they go into the coining chamber is completely random so there is no &quot;correct&quot; direction the smeared copper core should take. (Not all clad coins have smeared copper along the edge.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
