There isn&#039;t anything that could happen during a strike to cause that, but it&#039;s exactly what you&#039;d expect to see if someone spent some time grinding away at the edges.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also note that the rim around the back isn&#039;t weak. If part of the planchet was missing <i>when the coin was struck</i>, there wouldn&#039;t be enough metal to get forced all the way into the reverse die, and some of those reverse details would be weak.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep hunting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
