<p>[QUOTE=&quot;raider34, post: 764926, member: 16402&quot;]I&#039;ve got two theories, but I don&#039;t have much to back it up but my crazy ideas <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. First off I don&#039;t believe the striking pressure could be the cause. </p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is it could be caused by two things:</p><p><br /></p><p>First, is simply a grease filled die. Imo it would probably be quite easy for grease to get stuck in the areas that strike the denticles because they are incuse and on the outer most portion of the die. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second theory involves the planchet. Imo from looking at a few, the weak area of the denticles is almost even with the rim and slightly lower than then the rest of the denticles. I believe if the planchet was slightly thinner in these areas it would account for the weakness, because being thinner that area of the planchet would strike fully into the die; just like a weak strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
