<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2396988, member: 1892&quot;]The Mint illustrations show what looks like a failed attempt to create the bands - they&#039;re there, but faint. And full bands would actually <i>help</i> the obverse, albeit by a very tiny amount via displacing metal not filling where the band cuts would be, but not in the area where help will be needed the most. I think the back and bottom of the cap, and the large area of leaves northeast of ONE, will be where the striking problems play out. </p><p><br /></p><p>For crying out loud, if you can&#039;t get FB into something as soft as <b>gold</b>, what are you doing striking stuff? They managed full strikes on smaller Seated Half Dimes, using harder metal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
