<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinguy-matthew, post: 2554923, member: 35762&quot;]Yes you are right about the planchets they are harder to strike but its more in the process before hand that accounts for all the dings. Those dings are caused before the coin is even struck in the annealing process. Imagine all the freshly punched out planchets spinning in a drum together while heat is being applied. With silver planchets these minor dings and chatter are completely removed when the coin is struck but with the harder CuNi clad Ike planchets they often did not. Still though I think its general knowledge among Ike dollar collectors that the TPG grading companys are just bad at grading them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
