<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2285268, member: 1892&quot;]Two separate steps in the planchet -&gt; strike process have to survive undamaged for a coin like yours to happen: The upset rim which moves metal to the outside of the planchet to have enough there to strike the rim, and the complete rim formed by the strike. Keep in mind, we&#039;re talking 150 tons of pressure here. A second hit on an area already struck is going to completely - or near it - obliterate what&#039;s below. It&#039;s a physical impossibility for those previous details to survive; paddyman&#039;s images illustrate this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin was hit by something with far less force than a Mint press.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
