<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DoubleDiamond, post: 4776748, member: 114368&quot;]I also completely agree that there were huge problems minting coins during this era. Very much in the pioneer spirit though problems were identified and then improved upon. My understanding of the problem with the 1868 nickel was that the intricacies of the design with the rays meant more metal to be displaced than the tolerances of the dies could handle which resulted in mechanical failure. Once they were modified however to exclude the rays, it more or less solved the problem. Clever stuff really.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
