<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Get Real, post: 2511134, member: 81585&quot;]I am fully aware of the minting processes and have for many, many years!

Those tools would make a concaved cut not straight and they also leave tool marks not striations like when the metal is being compressed and pushed apart. </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p>The punching press used to make the planchets is in fact a shearing machine which is part of the minting process. Did you ever hear of an &quot;Assay Clip&quot;. I&#039;m not suggesting that this is one but it is possible to have this done during minting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
