<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 898381, member: 18157&quot;]The guy in the other thread may have just meant the die was overused (cracked). He may not have been refering to the &quot;ring&quot; on the obverse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Quite a bit of pressure is applied during each strike. I&#039;m not sure how dies are constructed, but the &quot;ring&quot; seems like part of the die is beginning to intrude downward, into the detail. That&#039;s my best guess, but that&#039;s all it is...a speculative WAG.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
