<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 300254, member: 66&quot;]Bingo, struck on a ten cent piece planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is off centered because being smaller it didn&#039;t land centered in the coining chamber.&nbsp; Part of it shows the sides and part doesn&#039;t because it was closer to the sided collar on one side and there wasn&#039;t enough metal to fill the sides and rims because the beginning planchet was smaller, a harder alloy, and the press was set for a thicker planchet so the pressure of the strike was lower than normal.&nbsp; A lower pressure strike on a harder alloy, it is surprising it struck up as well as it did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
