<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vipergts2, post: 513227, member: 3881&quot;]If you look at the ribbon at the bottom of the reverse it appears pretty full to me which indicates an early die state. Weak strikes were common with early die states but this is ultra weak suggesting that a combination of weak strike and a possibly thin planchet could cause this. And as Kanga said they still could have been adjusting preassure.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I always look at the ribbon because as the dies are polished the ribbon will dissapear from the bottom up. That is the easiest place&nbsp; for me to spot relative die state. usually the more the dies are polished down, the better the strike because the die is actually shallower. I like to find a combination of early die state and strong strike. Not real common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
