Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 7:59 pm When minting coins, the downward motion and pressure will cause the die to "jump" some, secondary hit it's called, this is normal machining. If the adjustments aren't tight, the secondary goes wider, sloppy looking, like this. Also can make a heck of a racket, press operator musta been on a break! It is possible of a capped die to look this way but not both sides! Edited by Crazyb0 03/13/2017 8:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
