<p>[QUOTE="ACoinJob, post: 2307484, member: 76768"]I could only imagine (Nice to meet you by the way) the planchets had to be recalibrated for height after the wartime cents were introduced. Temperature, and material density and thickness all physics problems, may of played a factor in reintroducing these copper planchets with a certain amount of tolerance, back into production. I have no internal knowledge of what the mints were doing, when reintroducing a softer material than steel & zinc, back in their machines. I do however, have a 4.0 G.P.A. in Manufacturing Technologies, and in Statistical Process Control. Something the Mints would of implemented in control of production. Another observation could be your scales need recalibrated, if not perfectly alligned. My mini scales did manipulate from 2.67 grams of silver to 2.7 within tolerance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
