[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2659702, member: 24633"]I think you've overthought the calculation.

I think you will find that this measurement will be considerably larger than the diameter of a quarter. Granted, the coin is slightly ovoid, but it is still not as large as your estimate of a 9% O/C strike. My calculation of a 20% O/C (+ or -) is based on the fact that the length of the unstruck portion is about 1/5th of the length of the struck portion. Chris[/QUOTE]
