[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3532839, member: 90692"]I may be way off base here, but I agree with Fred, and here's how I think it happens, not an expert like Fred, so bear with me: The die initially hits the planchet and creates the "doubling" of the bust...then the rest of the pressure of the strike completes itself on the un-collared coin, creating the central design. Makes sense logistically, imo, but this seems to cover what Fred said too...Spark[/QUOTE]
