coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 4:22 pm I was thinking thinned planchet. But with the weight about the same, I'm thinking a weak/low pressure strike. It looks like the dies are in VLDS. So that might affect the clarity of the strike. The weakness of the deepest die devices (the tallest on the coin led me to that conclussion. There is not hint of design on the torch and the hair is as bald as an Ike dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3334 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 4:26 pm Thanks, coop - also has some MD on forehead and on some letters on REV. Are you saying VLDS and Weak Strike *rather than* MAD? (Or *in addition to* MAD?) Edited by Pete2226 07/25/2015 4:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 4:35 pm It maybe all three. The weakness of the rims was hiding the MAD. Report this Post to the Staff
