SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 9:35 pm A MAD so far off as to lose detail is pretty darn cool. Something had to break in the press to do that - the dies couldn't be that far off even when you first install them. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 11:18 am A real collectable when the devices fall over the edge of the coin. Did you notice the weakness on the left side of the reverse on your coin? The strike pressure was not as strong there, because the obverse die was striking pressure was more on the opposite edge of the coin because of the MAD. Thus the weakness on that rim area on the reverse left rim. Edited by coop 03/15/2015 11:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
