<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 2788919, member: 21705&quot;]ps I was talking about Die Polishing and not coin polishing. The former is a product of the mint while the latter is PMD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the edges are GREAT. They show the edge of 94 characteristics with much greater detail than I have seen before. This is why I&#039;m almost certain that it is not an electrotype which could produce details on the flat surfaces like that of the original.</p><p><br /></p><p>The weight, while high, is well within tolerances used at the mint in 1794. They had not developed precision in rolling out sheets from which to make planchets leading to greater variability of weights at the time of production. In fact, later on they began using planchet stock produced outside the mint. </p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, only a year later, they used TAL Tokens which were lighter on the NC-2 and on a S-78 I have and cut them down on many half cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
