Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 07/19/2011 7:42 pm not too much of a saddle strike, the strikes should be about equal in size. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/19/2011 8:17 pm Well this seller is the expert on error coins. Struck between two dies or struck twice. Not every time it ends up equal. But the error is listed correctly. Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 07/19/2011 10:19 pm The dies strike the planchet at the same time, and the outward pressure between the two dies pushes the metal upwards creating a "Saddle Strike." Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 10:20 am A saddle strike is a tandem strike. The two off-center strikes are received simultaneously, rather than sequentially. A hump or saddle does not always form, which is why I'm not a huge fan of the term. But we're stuck with the terminology we inherit. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
