[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 2821116, member: 84179"]The die is also basined (slight curvature) to help push the metal outward equally in all directions, more or less. As Dave posted, there is less resistance for the metal to flow into the big, gaping area left by the clip, than there is to flow up into the rim, and devise on the opposite side. This also helps explain why the letters and rim right at the edge of the clip are weak. If you see a fully formed rim and letters at the clip edge, then it's a good idea to check for evidence of post mint grinding.[/QUOTE]
