<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2706324, member: 66&quot;]If the hammer die is far enough misaligned that part of the lettering is off the planchet, it DOES smash into the collar.&nbsp; And if left to continue doing that long enough the collar wears down the edge of the die.&nbsp; And if it is that far off, and smashing into the collar, the strike usually is weaker because part of the energy is being used to force down the collar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
