[QUOTE="Numiser, post: 7047644, member: 97960"]I understand that the planchet does not enter the coinage press properly during the strike thereby producing an off centered strike to some degree. So what happens to the next coin(s)? a) Does the process come to a complete halt. Collar break or alignment etc…? b) Does it just keep spitting out OC coins until noticed or a buzzer goes off? c) It’s just a one time thing and the system continues to produce normal coins? d) All of the above can happen on a really bad day. My curiosity was peeked when I saw a similar OC 2000 Philadelphia 1 Cent coin posted in another thread. [USER=88934]@CoinCorgi[/USER] Both coins seem to be very similar, but mine has slightly more lettering on both sides. Could they be from the same batch or run in different stages of multiple coins being struck OC in a row? From the position of the FG on both coins, they appear to be the normal 2000 CAM. Thanks.
