<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 303945, member: 66&quot;]OK, I think I&#039;ve got it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assumption:&nbsp; The device that applies the security edge is similar to a Castaning machine using two die faces each of which impress half the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>The planchet enters the machine and starts to receive the security edge normally.&nbsp; When it reaches the point of the incompletearea of the&nbsp; planchet the distance across the diameter is now less than the distance between the die facesand the planchet stops rotating.&nbsp; The security edge stops at the edge of the clip.&nbsp; Since there is nothing to force the coin to stat rotating again it merely slides along&nbsp; to the end.&nbsp; It is then struck in a milled collar providing the grooves on the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Final result is a coin on an incomplete planchet with a reeded edge and two short sections of security edge 180 degrres apart from each other, one of which terminates at the edge of the planchet clip.&nbsp; Does that accurately describe what the coin really looks like?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
