Um, what is that?

:drinks:

Bob, See how the strike in the centre of the coin is OK but not fully struck up & on the outer of the coin the legends & detail are very poorly struck.
Not enough pressure was used,they adjust the pressure with each strike at the start of a run until they get it right.

I was going to say how can it be? But I think you are saying, if the pressure of the strike is not great enough, then the energy will dissipate and result in a poorly struck up coin radially distant from the centre?

Yes,absolutely correct,if the planchet is firmly in the collar die the highest pressure will always be in the centre of the coin.

Sorry about going off topic Enworb, These 2 cent coins are awesome !

Yes i picked up about 20 of them a while ago. They included misstrikes, partial collars and some of those multiple struck ones. These are amongst some of the best i kept for myself. Ive decided to only keep three.
