kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/13/2018 10:15 am I don't know if it's the case here, but this is a possibility. Sometimes the dies are not annealed (hardened) correctly and the center is "softer". When used in coin production after a while the center of the die that is "soft" will start to collapse which allows the other die to push its central design element through to the other side. My best guess. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/13/2018 1:53 pm This is due to the over use of the dies. Constant pounding alters the lower(anvil) die in this way. Very common on 40's and 50's LWCs and early 60's LMCs. Report this Post to the Staff
