<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 4281964, member: 73266&quot;]The lack of a detailed strike on that area of the reverse, would be expected if there wasn&#039;t enough metal on the opposite side to give enough resistance to force metal into the devices.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen similar laminations where when the rollers are sizing the thickness of the sheet, they will push up metal in front of the rollers. If the metal pushes up high enough, the rollers will fold it over and roll the foldover down into the sheet creating a lamination. I believe that the connecting metal holding the lamination to the sheet, was cut when the blank was cut from the sheet.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the area of the rim were to be squeezed between, a vice or pliers, the metal from that low spot would push the rim out and the coin would no longer be perfectly round. Coins aren&#039;t made of hollow metal. Any metal not where it should be had to be removed before or after the strike. Has the coin been weighed?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
