<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 186571, member: 112&quot;]With all respect to swamperbob and yourself, the laws of physics are what they are and cannot be ignored. Now what I mean by that is that if the coin or planchet is off a given size and the edge die is of a given size, then the joint/ overlap or lack thereof is going to be in a given place - period. And if that size is such that the design comes together at just the right place, then there will be no overlap/joint or there will be one or there will be two or there will be more than two as you described.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems we have one main point of disagreement, that being that there are always 2 overlaps/joints or more. But the very same physics that dictate this also dictate what I am saying - all that is required is the proper size of both the coin/planchet and edge die.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way I do disagree with one of your new points, that being that the planchets were rough cut. On the contrary, the planchets for the portrait series were very uniform and well shaped in regard to roundness. Common sense dictates this was so because the coins themselves are very round. And rolling them between two edge dies would not remove any roughness nor make them any more round than they were before that took place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
