<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mespe, post: 289261, member: 10197&quot;]When you state &quot;the coin metal is forced up into the design of the die&quot; Ok there&#039;s an obverse die and a reverse die, which one pushes the planchet into which die? I&#039;m assuming that the coin minting process mints both sides at the same time,,,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And while we&#039;re at it, I assume the copper cladding is applied before the penny is struck, but it&#039;s so thin, why doesn&#039;t the zinc come through in spots?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And finally, why would anyone pay $1800 for a shiny 1965 penny?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
