<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 1873692, member: 9474"]Looks like a possible adjustment strike to me. With a grease filled die, you will most often time find it on just one die. Not to say that both can't be grease filled, but you just don't see them that often. An adjustment strike is how I've always heard the term, but basically there wasn't enough pressure applied during the striking process to cause the metal to raise up in the working dies. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another option to consider would be a thinner planchet.
