<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 592435, member: 15309&quot;]I have no idea so I will just venture a complete guess.&nbsp; The high levels of humidity in New Orleans made the dies highly susceptible to grease build up in the deepest recesses of the dies.&nbsp; Since the striking process causes radial stresses, the grease trapped in the recess above the ear which is the center of the die got trapped and could not be expelled which explains why the other areas of the coin did not suffer the same grease filled fate.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
