epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 3:20 pm I'm talking about the stars in the left. Any ideas what would cause this to happen, or is it PMD? Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 3:38 pm I don't believe this was caused by PMD. I would suspect grease on the die that didn't allow a full-strike. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/14/2013 10:19 am Could be Grease Filled Dies or a striking problem from out of parallel dies. What does the reverse look like? Report this Post to the Staff
epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 02/14/2013 10:35 am here it is...nothing out of the ordinary here I'd say. Not too familiar with the seated liberty series though Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 09:11 am OK, that eliminates the dies being out of parallel, so it looks like a Grease Fill. Report this Post to the Staff
