<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RomanTheRussian, post: 186579, member: 7539&quot;]Ok, getting ready to leave work and just wanted to point-out that when I mentioned &quot;rough&quot; planchet - I was talking about surfaces, not the edge. The edge was, in fact, close to perfect circle, since, after rolling ingots into uniformed &quot;sheet&quot; of silver, the blanks were punched using a press, similar to the &quot;blanking press&quot; used by mints today. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>True, unless the &quot;moving&quot; side of the edging machine also moved towards the other side to secure the blank in place and not just parallel to it. If the distance between the sides of the machine was stationary, how would you fit and secure the blank in the first place? Try to visualize the process.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, I often noticed that people having a disagreement over any subject, are simply miscommunicating the same idea. Does that make sense? English is not my native language and I still struggle with getting my point across, at times.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Roman[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
