<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 346962, member: 3726"]The final comments at the store was that more research needed to be done on the die state and planchet flaws. I find it curious that the weak strike coincides with the bulge. I really do not know and to me it does not distract from the coin. It is much more obvious in the picture than in hand. I searched heritage and looked at almost every picture of a O-115A coin that they had. None seemed to have such prominent die cracks as the one I have - and most seem to have weak strikes right were mine as the bulge. Basically I do not know. What I would like to think is that as the dies came together on the planchet, the outside of the dies continued to shatter causing a bulge in the planchet and the weak strike on the obverse. Possible - don't know. Very interesting coin to say the least.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
