Yes, they do anneal cent planchets. Left over copper particles inside the furnace are what cause sintered planchets. And 19Lyds - the conveyor...
The Grey Sheet is a thousand times more accurate than the Blue Book. I don't even know why they bother to print the Blue Book. It hasn't ever been...
Mathew the annealing process does not begin until the coins enter the furnace. And it ends the moment they leave the furnace. Anything that...
I stand corrected.
