Well it is not from the coin getting hot during the strike. John Wexler had the experience holding a fresh struck cent. He waid it was normal temp. (not hot as he even thought) But I'm wondering it this is more often caused by Machine Doubling. Have you ever noticed, you see the split plating more often on coins with MD?
