<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 4301414, member: 73266&quot;]Coin 49 is broadstruck in a partialy engaged collar. If you look at the reverse of the coin, you will see reeding in the strike. In &#039;99 I believe all coins were struck with the obverse die being the hammer die, so the collar details on the reverse came directly from the collar. The collar details on the obverse are from the obverse die clashing with the collar and transfering that clash to the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins 51 and 52, I have seen this type strike through before and in fact have one in my collection. I have believed for many years now that these are caused by a finned edge broken off previously struck coin. They pretty much all have the same curvature as the coins diameter. And all appear to match reeding repetition. These are my opinions though so without a grain of salt for flavor, they could be totally wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
