<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 4297816, member: 44615&quot;]This is what occurs. Sheets of Dime stock is fed into a cutter to punch out the Blank Planchets. These sheets are already Cupro-Nickel over an inner copper core. Like a sandwich.</p><p>When the punch cuts the sheet it forces the upper Cupro-Nickel layer downward and slightly over the copper core. These blank planchets are then taken&nbsp; to be mechanically fed into the striking chamber. There is no Obverse or Reverse determined before the strike because it really doesn&#039;t matter. So you will see what you have shown us. Find a few more Dimes.. Grab 100 of them and you will see the same throughout all of them. It&#039;s probably a 50/50 chance on how they enter the striking chamber since it is impossible to have them all enter the same direction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
