<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cascade, post: 2373951, member: 75984&quot;]I already told you. It was struck on a very late die stage die at the end of its life... which, over hundreds of thousands of striking the metal was tired and slightly deformed. The &quot;bowl&quot; impression is due to the die face sinking over all those strikes. There is no name for it because it is not an error or special artifact from a strike, just what can happen to a coin being struck from such a used up die. Your friend may know how to cut metal but he doesn&#039;t know squat about coin dies and how they&#039;re prepared or what happens to the metal after so many strikings at such high pressures etc. That&#039;s like saying my friend milks cows so he knows how to make swiss cheese because of it. It doesn&#039;t work that way[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
