The shapes of the &quot;Face&quot; are not correct. What we are saying that it is (almost) impossible to strike a smaller coin on a larger planchet. The machinery won&#039;t allow it. The first batch you posted was done intentionally by the minting company. I was at a coin show in Orlando a few years ago and the company who made the pieces you show was there. I got to talking to Mike Ellis and in our conversation he made me several errors on the FUN show tokens right there in front of me as a souvenir. My point is that these were also made intentionally probably by the same guy.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second piece you show was mine and it was struck on a regular sized planchet that just happened to be cut down from a larger token. By the time that the coin shown was made this practice was long gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
