<p>[QUOTE=&quot;miedbe7, post: 2208501, member: 33919&quot;]Sorry for the duplicate reply ... But I forgot to ask, what would the host coin be for a hypothetical racketeer nickel?&nbsp; Could you use a Liberty Head Quarter Eagle (~18mm) for an ~21mm nickel?&nbsp; Or would you just use custom blanks, probably pretty expensive...</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways sounds interesting and I&#039;ll have to reach far back into my geometry/calculus memory to figure out if that could host and still be the normal thickness of a Liberty V Nickel at 1.95mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit - ok after about 30 mins of math using my simple computer calculator (not easy btw) ... If you hosted on a half eagle, the resulting coin (not taking into account reeding or wear) would be ~33% thinner than a liberty nickel (1.29mm vs 1.95mm) ... If you hosted using a $10 eagle (not chump change), it&#039;d be ~33% thicker at 2.59mm instead of 1.95mm ... my invoice is incoming (jk, probably wrong with my maths too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
