Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 2:00 pm Is it delaminating? Many of the central devices seem to be stripped rather than worn? Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 2:09 pm Very interesting... It could be woodgraining from the improper alloy mix that is causing a stripping similar to a lamination? Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 3:32 pm Just curious is the weight normal? Thanks. Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 4:00 pm Weight = 3.04g. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 4:17 pm Trying to figure out all that's going on. 1. Alloy mix issue. 2. Little under weight. 3. Possible weak strike. Faint details and rim. Last I'm just throwing out there. 4. Could the planchet been flawed (pre strike split) to start with? Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 4:21 pm If it is, indeed, an improper alloy mix, might the reason for such a weak strike in areas be that those portions of the coin experienced a hardness variation greater than acceptable for a normal strike?

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 4:49 pm Might be a Woody on a thin planchet. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 4:53 pm Or it is a thinned planchet? It is under weight. Report this Post to the Staff
