Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6619 Posts	Posted Today 7H 37M ago If the coin weren't in BU condition and showing lots of die flow, I would almost think it had been encased. The rough edge makes me wonder if this wasn't struck on a blank instead of a planchet, but it's hard to find extensive information on coins struck on blanks. Coin mass is normal. I do know that weak strikes can leave a shelf around both rims because the strike doesn't completely reshape the protorim established by the upset mill. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6619 Posts	Posted Today 3H 24M ago A weak strike should be easier to see on a quarter because of the reeds. They should be unusually shallow because the planchet wasn't squashed far enough into the collar. Report this Post to the Staff
