I was hoping others would do the intellectual legwork to fill in this blank, and was disappointed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pressure setting of the strike, speed of press operation, accuracy of die hubbing, die state, die design and even planchet weight differences all play into the character of the resulting strike.
