<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 7908659, member: 92083&quot;]One thing to look for on genuine wrong planchet errors (and incomplete planchets like clips) are the outermost areas nearest the rims/edges.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since a cent planchet is smaller in diameter than the quarter collar, part of the planchet will hug the collar and part of it won&#039;t on a die strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Areas that hug the collar will have strong rims, strong designs, and edge reeding. Designs won&#039;t be warped much or at all. See what I mean here:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1365089[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>However areas nearest the edges that don&#039;t hug the collar will expand and stretch, and often the designs will become stretched and distorted as you see with the &quot;9&quot; of the date. It also will have a weak rim and little to no reeding as it didn&#039;t reach the reeded collar completely, if at all. It also didn&#039;t fully reach the rim gutter on the die which makes the rims more defined. This is the result of metal flow as well since expansion flows from the center towards the edges.
