<p>[QUOTE=&quot;StevenHarden, post: 4397958, member: 67639&quot;]Thank you for your reply and welcome to the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>On #76, I am cautiously optimistic that it is not PMD.&nbsp; Nothing on the example makes me believe it has been damaged after minting.&nbsp; As [USER=81991]@alurid[/USER] stated above, the suggestion of a collar deployment error may be going the right direction.&nbsp; It would make sense to me that an issue with the collar would be a likely cause of a nonuniform diameter.&nbsp; It could also be that this is a combination of errors, such as a misaligned die along with a collar deployment error.&nbsp; I am no expert in these types of errors, but do hope that someone familiar with this would be able to chime in.</p><p><br /></p><p>On #77, I believe it is an off-center chainstrike, but not on a clipped planchet based on the appearance and weight of ~3.1 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>On #78, I agree with calling it an off-center uniface strike on a split planchet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
