koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 7:25 pm Here is another 1992. They would have dressed this die out to remove clash marks and/or superficial die cracks to extend the life of the die. It is also a slightly weak strike on the head. When dies clash and after they are dressed out, the shut height (spacing) between the dies is increased ever so slightly. That could be the cause of the weak strike on the head. Coin submitted by Ed Crooks of WI in May 2013. Edited by koinpro 05/23/2015 7:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
