copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 03/30/2012 5:06 pm I got this in change awhile back, and I'm baffled what happened here. I don't feel that it is PMD because of the way that the rim is undamaged and intact. Would love to get some opinions from others as to what's up with this! Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/30/2012 5:59 pm I believe that it is an indent strike, caused when two planchets are struck while overlapping each other. The other coin would be 95% OC on the obverse and uniface on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 03/30/2012 6:10 pm Thanks! I thought of the indent strike, but wouldn't that have flattened the rim? The rim is almost totally intact (tried to show that with the pics). Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 03/30/2012 6:17 pm I'm not 100% sure why, but the rim is always like that on indent strikes I've seen, to varying degrees. I think it's a combination of the fact that the rim is upset (and therefore work-hardened) before it's struck, and because of the pressure provided by the collar. Also, devices are partially formed even through a strike-through (depending on the thickness), and since the rim is the highest relief part of the coin, it's formed even though it's getting struck through something as thick as a planchet.
