<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2542279, member: 73983&quot;]Are you saying that you think &quot;liquid flow&quot; occurred post strike and not pre-strike?&nbsp; I don&#039;t buy the post strike liquid flow because of the luster present.&nbsp; Another example which to me shows that whatever happened to the planchet was pre-strike is the finned ridge on the edge of the rim at the bottom of the obverse.&nbsp; This shows how the metal that may have been affected had the anomaly &quot;struck out&quot; as the metal was force up between the collar and the obverse die. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope we get a true expert in here someone that is a metallurgist or an expert in Nickels that has seen something like this before.&nbsp; I&#039;d really like to know what this is and how it was caused.&nbsp; I think this is a fascinating piece and really sparked a fun academic debate.&nbsp; But this debate is among a few individuals who are very knowledgable but are not experts. We may have the correct answer here, but can&#039;t know until an expert can confirm it.&nbsp; Is there someone that I could send this piece to for examination and confirmation?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
