<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 3655564, member: 4920&quot;]Doug, let me see if I understand what you’re saying. Here’s the leaf cluster, isolated...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]982383[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>That top leaf you’re calling a “weak strike” was cut deeper into the die than those adjacent, lower leaves, which, given their detail in this photo as compared to the lack of detail in the top leaf in the photo, took the force of the strike better, because, again, those leaves weren’t cut as deep into the die as that top leaf was. That is to say, had the striking force been greater, that top leaf would have “taken” better, and we’d see that greater detail in the cut of the top leaf imparted to the planchet. Bottom line, the striking force was insufficient to fill that deeper cavity of the top leaf, and that’s why it wasn’t imparted to the planchet. Is that basically how you’re seeing it?</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: BTW, that reminds me, I need to see a dentist (cavities). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
