Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/30/2017 10:42 pm I'll let an overlay explain how images can be deceiving. Seeing .75 or 3/4" or 19 millimeters sounds like a normal diameter, place a circle around it shows what I see on this end as being out of round. As for isolated MD, that maybe outside my ability to explain in words. I'll try and locate some examples coops shown in the past I thought was very interesting. Showing the same die pair with several different looking isolated MD on the date. Don't get me wrong, your example looks cool, but I'm thinking the machine / die(s) moved or bounced during the strike. Could be wrong. Thanks, Doug.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/30/2017 11:25 pm That's an interesting overlay, Halo1st. However, it's not out of round. The pictures were taken at an angle with the top of the coin being slightly farther away than the bottom creating an oval look that bulges east and west. The dies being mis-aligned on both sides also creates that illusion on this one.

The out of round follows the mis-alignment. Quote: The dies being mis-aligned on both sides also creates that illusion on this one. May also suggest a potential wide collar issue with the mis-alignments opposite each other with the current full images displayed. Thanks, Doug. Adding the one with coin in hand say's its not out of round so I'll take that as is. Edited by Halo1st 05/31/2017 12:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
