<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2351168, member: 24314"]I'd like to expand your post to "It is the flow of the liquid planchet metal into the microscopic grooves worn into the die that create the raised radial lines that give the struck coin its cartwheel luster." That's because the planchet metal of Proofs also flows during striking; yet there is no cartwheel or radials seen on fresh proofs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
