<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 2057426, member: 31533&quot;]I don&#039;t know if I am correct, but I think the die strike may be the issue, and possibly combined with some die problems (where the die fields are not really smooth). What I see is that aside from what you are noticing is that 1) there is a lot of md on the lettering, both obverse and reverse, and 2) the edges of the fields (look on the obverse more, could be because it is the hammer die?) looks like it drops off in the middle of the lettering, as if the die was simply polished on an angle so that the full force of the die was not striking the planchet. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I think that this may simply indicate the hammer die, especially, was not in secure enough or something that caused it to skip or slide as it was striking. Not only giving md on lettering, but also causing the field to not be struck well. Perhaps there was an issue with the pressure used as well for this???? </p><p><br /></p><p>Just ideas, I don&#039;t know enough to say for sure that is that, so I am looking for others to comment on this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
