<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3135625, member: 15199"]The "U" has the appearance of being cut in half the length of the arm , which is an indication of MD, which doesn't have to be totally flat as the die is moving sideways also along with vertically. I try to always use the word flattened rather than flat but I didn't here. The "S" in the last photo does have a slight vertical aspect, but it is still well below the height of the other. Usually I think the process on circulation dies to drive it twice for the depth needed on the final coin. A repunched mm was when it slipped out of place for the second, but the depth usually was close.
