<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 170789, member: 66&quot;]samjimmy is right.&nbsp; You can&#039;t make a hole that will work for all the coins of that type.&nbsp; The Coronet cent ran from 1816 to 1839.&nbsp; Until 1836 they used an open collar that did not restrain the expansion of the planchet during the striking with the result that every coin is a slightly different size.&nbsp; rom 1836 on they used a close collar that did restrain the expansion rsulting in better fill of the dies and every coins being perfectly round and exactly the same diameter.&nbsp; But since they were restrained they are also slightly smaller in diameter that the earlier coins.&nbsp; So if Dansco makes the hole to fit the 1836 - 39 coins the earlier coins won&#039;t fit at all.&nbsp; So they moke it slightly large and it fits all the earlier coins pretty well, but is too big for the 36 - 39 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the 7070 had a hole for the Liberty cap cents it would have the same problem.&nbsp; The comression the lettered edge planchets of 1793 - 95 makes them start out with a smaller diameter than the plain edged 1795-96 coins.&nbsp; So even though they used an open collar and all the coins are slightly different size, the lettered coins are always smaller than the plain edge coins.&nbsp; So a hole that fits one will not fit the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
