<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2769128, member: 66&quot;]I would think it had to have help.&nbsp; The weakness of the strike indicates it was made using two hammer dies, but a hammer die in the anvil position would be unable to eject the coin out of the collar.&nbsp; If the press was running normally multiple subsequent planchets would have been fed into the coining chamber mashing one side while causing the other side to finish striking up sharply.&nbsp; This press would have been had to be set up with the two hammer dies, cycled one time to strike this piece, and then disasembled to recover the coin from the collar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
