Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 02/07/2021 11:44 am Picked this up on ebay recently, I love the amount of stretching on this coin, one of the further ones I've seen. Dishing looks pretty dramatic too. Just wanted to show it off Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/07/2021 11:48 am Looks like the reverse was struck through a capped die Edit: wonder if it was struck with this one - looks suspiciously similar! http://goccf.com/t/372460 Edited by SamCoin 02/07/2021 11:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/07/2021 11:52 am No, it was struck into a second planchet. This is called a uniface off center strike. The planchet that it was struck onto, went on its own way. Edited by coop 02/07/2021 11:53 am Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 02/07/2021 12:02 pm I believe stretch strikes are fairly common among nickels due to the planchet thickness and striking pressure needed for the nickel alloy. Here's a second uniface stretch strike I got recently on an LMC Report this Post to the Staff
