Question 1: How is the rim formed? Question 2: What part of the coining chamber keeps the planchet from expanding too far when it is struck? If you can find the answers to these questions, you will likely answer your own question.
Apart from the Upsetting Answer , Does that mean that this could or could not happen ? I watched the Minting Process and can't make heads or tails of it
The Minting Process has changed significantly from 1946 , I appreciate the Answer because I've never seen the actual process and still leaves alot unseen . In the 40s they just stamped them , they didn't have the Upsetter back then if I'm not Mistaken . Yet Still with all this we still find error coins . So is it fair to say it's not Foolproof ? And in the Pics I posted is that the clad pushed back (damaged) or the rim .
After your last thread, it may be easier if you just tell us (or at least those that haven't put you on ignore) the answer you want to hear. It will save a lot of effort
The upsetting mill was known to be in use during the last part of the 19th century. The nickel is not a clad coin. It is a copper/nickel alloy.
sometimes the truth is a bitter pill to swallow but that is how the real world works sometimes the facts are not always going to be what one wants them to be
Tell Ya What , If you can read and answer simply . You're still a Winner in my Book But the question I asked was in reference to a question,sorry questions I was asked regarding the Minting Process . It's still a PMD or Mint Question . This is why simple answers are what I prefer , You guys can Ignore Me do you think this is the Only Coin Forum on the Web . I take a lil from here n there . But Honestly speaking You guys seem like a Bunch of Divorced Bitter Old Men mad they closed the Boy Scouts down n I could Give Two Sheets who ignores me what are you 15 ..? K.I.S.S
I'm just trying to help you by making you answer your own questions. I've been here 10 years, and I've found that people appreciate it more if you make them think about it. We didn't have Boy Scouts in the poolrooms that I frequented as a young boy.
bitter? not even close still married after 24 yrs never got into boy scouts and I gave my honest blunt opinion as to what it was sorry if it wasn't what you wanted to hear but that is how I do things blunt in your face opinions
You guys , point is It's not about what I or Anyone doesn't want to hear . Nobody wants runaround answers to simple questions . If I ask it's because I searched and turned up nothing solid . The Coin Collectors out there know alot more than me . I'm not really a collector as much as an Observer . I Don't sell Coins either . So it's Zero Investment just for knowledge on something I couldn't turn up myself . Alot of people sell Fake Stuff or Advertise stuff as something it's not which then gives the next guy an idea that they too have something similar and on and on . Anyway I do Appreciate the Answers and Knowledge above all .
There are thousands of ways that a coin can be damaged while in circulation, and this coin has been circulating for almost 75 years. You can't expect someone to tell you what instrument was used to cause this. That is why you likely will not find anything identifying the damage by name. The only thing they can say with any reasonable certainty is that it is not something that occurred at the Mint.
