<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 974539, member: 2972&quot;]Think about effective striking pressure on an off-center strike and you have your answer (for example, if the striking pressure is 1000 pounds which results in 100psi on a full-struck coin, and the coin is 50% off center, the effective striking pressure would be 200psi -- because of a constant striking force and a smaller area to be struck -- simple math).&nbsp; Even better, look at the coins you posted and show me the weakly struck areas (the ones that do, not coincidentally, show planchet marks -- for example the Indian&#039;s braid on the 1920 buff).&nbsp; Lastly, ask Fred Weinberg.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I disagree for the reasons outlined in my comments above.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please show me examples of a weakly struck O on Lincoln cents with no marks.&nbsp; I challenge you that for every one you find without any I will find 99 that do!&nbsp; Here are all of the MS 66 Lincoln cents on Heritage:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ne=16&amp;N=51+790+231+328+75" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ne=16&amp;N=51+790+231+328+75" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ne=16&amp;N=51+790+231+328+75</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You also have 50+ examples from RLM&#039;s collection to choose from over on the other forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have at it...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
