<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4905297, member: 112&quot;]Answer - misaligned dies. Close examination of the rim on both sides of the coin explains it. It&#039;s easy to see in your minds eye once you look at and it picture it in the right way - 12 o&#039;clock on the obv matching up with 6 on the rev.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rim of the obv is weak at 12, while its opposing point the rim at 6 on the rev is strong. And the rim of the obv at 6 is strong while its opposing point the rim of the rev at 12 is weak.</p><p><br /></p><p>It also appears that the planchet might have been a little bit thin from 8 o&#039;clock to 10. This is indicated by the weakness of the legends on the obv and the weakness of the stars on the rev, and slight weakness of the rim on both sides, at that location.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
