<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 30237, member: 66&quot;]The encased coins are made by placing the coin into a hole in the aluminum blank and then the design in impressed in to the aluminum using a set of dies witha hole in the center so as to not damage the coin.&nbsp; The placement of the hole in the die to the coin is very close so as to impress the desing right up to the edge of the coin so that the aluminum would press strongly against the coin to hold it in place.&nbsp; If the die is offset slightly the edge of the die can hit the edge of the coin and cause damage like you see here, or sometimes even impressing some of the design onto the rim of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
