<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 727303, member: 6647&quot;]Those are some great looking coins, I particularily like the Colombian 10 centavos.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think this coin was produced in a similar manner to those in late colonial times in Bolivia.&nbsp; The planchets were impressed first with the edge device on a machine that rolled the edge of the blank along two parallel, patterned bars.&nbsp; Then it was stuck up on a screw press for the obverse/reverse.&nbsp; The process sometimes resulted in out-of-round coins.&nbsp; So, yes, you could say they were struck without a collar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
