Planchet flaw, or damage?

@DoubleDiamond I just looked through the threads you started and this is the first one I have replied to. The common theme throughout all your threads though, is your ignorance. That is my final word on you since you have earned a coveted spot on my ignore list. You aren't worth the time or energy.

Impossible I think

 

You and paddy your metalwork classmate made a good tag team, but alas not good enough. I am truly honoured to be on your ignore list however, it is a true victory for the silent majority.

 

Oh no! Are we descending into another rabbit hole?

 

On a scale of 1-10, how impossible is it would you say?

 

10, being the hardest.

 

10 being out and out impossible

 

A Reeded edge mark occurs when coins are in a bag, mint bags. They get moved and banged around a lot. There's nothing for a black planchet to bang against, even after the reeds and runs are formed.

 

@DoubleDiamond

In a previous post you said

".....I know what I need to know already, and this was just an exercise really to see if it is worth frequenting such places. Which clearly it is not, ......"

So if I understand this correctly, you're saying that you fully understand what caused the marks on your coin in the OP, and are only posting to "test" the members of this site not to get help with a question. Is that correct?

 

Also known as a troll.

Ps. Please remove all your worthless likes from my posts.

 

I recommended that you learn more about making coins and Mint errors because you were wrong in your assumptions.

 

I cannot believe you are squandering a great opportunity to learn from the many knowledgeable members we have on CT. It really is a shame.

 

I get what you are saying. Thanks. It still doesn't stack up though as the reed marks are mostly apparent on the raised surfaces, and have even deformed along contours of the coin surface that the radius of a reeded coin could not possibly fit into. On the flat parts of the strike however the impressions are smaller and seem to have undergone compaction during the die stamping process. I openly admit that I need to know more about the striking processes, but on face value the coins clanging around together theory doesn't seem to cut the mustard. Even though the planchets would still be soft prior to being annealed, it would still be impossible for the edge radius of the coin to traverse and maintain contact with the topography of the coin's features. The spreading of the "tread marks" is also indicative of being deformed into the negative features of the coin die. To my mind at least.

 

DoubleD and others. If I do not see more a forum matter, someone will take a vacation. And I want the insults to stop! It deforms a person's status quite a bit.

Thanks! Jim

 

We've moved on now Einstein. I suggest that you do too, or the humiliation will eat you from the inside out.

 

Enter the aficionado lol
Get lost, there's a good chap.

 

I think you have finally reached found the answer to the problem you have accepting the knowledge of CT members and you wrote the words: "To my mind at least."

 

Put a sock in it Robert, this is above your pay grade.

 

Poor chap is going to have to get permission to ban me now.
