coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/06/2016 9:13 pm Looks like a split plating issue from the strike breaking through the plating on SE bottom and mid center of the upright on the inside. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/07/2016 11:11 am I appreciate it Coop. They must have wacked that punch pretty hard, the mintmarks seem to be the place for the most split platings. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/07/2016 12:43 pm I've hear it mentioned that the punch may have left a fin sticking upwards and then flattened after a number of strikes. But I question that. If that were true, then the examples would all be EDS coins. I've not seen that to be the case. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/07/2016 4:59 pm Yeah, I doubt that too, maybe in a few isolated cases, but it probably usually came out as slick as it went in. I do think they punched them a little deeper than the other devices though, because that seems to be where most of the split plating occurs. Report this Post to the Staff
