johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1620 Posts	Posted 11/30/2016 9:08 pm There are beads visible along both edges of the tiny part of the coin that was struck. Would this be considered offstruck? The thing that confuses me is that the tiny portion that was struck is at an almost 90 degree angle to the planchet.

johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1620 Posts	Posted 12/01/2016 12:10 am Thanks SPP. I guess it was struck so far off center that the force of the hammer die tilted the planchet when it struck it, hence the 90º angle... Report this Post to the Staff
