<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 7384910, member: 66&quot;]Yes.&nbsp; The old coins were struck at a rate between 60 and 100 coins per minute so the metal had .5 seconds or so for the metal to flow and fill the deeper recesses of the die.&nbsp; Today they are struck at 750 coins per minute which means the metal now only has .04 seconds to fill the die.&nbsp; Now the metal flows just so fast, so in order to fill the die in the time available the relief has to be much lower.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
