<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 444026, member: 66&quot;]No, that come from improper use of terms when they describe how planchets are made, and how people describe how to tell a blank from a planchet.&nbsp; A blank is the flat disk punched from the strip of metal.&nbsp; The blanks are then put through an upsetting mill and receive and upset edge.&nbsp; (A thickened area around the edge where the blank has been compressed inward by the upsettng mill.)&nbsp; This is where the problem come in.&nbsp; Many people call this an upset rim, or they say what distinguishes the blank for a planchet is that the planchet has a rim on it.&nbsp; But look at a planchet and you will see that the &quot;rim&quot; on it looks nothing like the rim on the finished coin.&nbsp; That upset edge does help to FORM the rim on the coin, but it still needs he restrainng of the collar to form it properly and more completely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
