[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3378885, member: 112"]I understand what you're trying to point out, but I'm going to ask you to think for a minute. Consider if you will that when an alloy is made it occurs with the metals in molten form. Molten metals that are stirred and mixed over and over again in an effort to make the alloy as homogeneous as possible. This results in millions and millions of tiny particles of each individual metal all mixed together in a completely random form, with particles of one adjoining particles of the other(s). Then the metal is poured into bar shape or whatever, then rolled out to final form. Now imagine, just imagine, how likely would it ever be for all of those random particles to become aligned, where the particles of one are all aligned with each other, and the particles of the other are all aligned with each other, and then both are organized into straight, parallel lines, that are also evenly spaced, and repeating. And not only that, but they are organized into this pattern on two planes, the horizontal plane as well as the vertical plane. What I'm trying to point out is that coin planchets have thickness as well as width and breadth. And for a pattern like that to happen - everything would have to somehow become organized and lined up just so. Does anybody even remotely think that something like that is likely to happen ? I mean I suppose it's possible, but how probable is it ? Things like this are what have always made me question the bad alloy theory being used as an explanation for coins like this - where everything is lined up just so. I mean if the pattern were random, broken up into different shapes and sizes, not perfectly straight and parallel, and evenly spaced, and repeating - well then yeah, I could easily go with the bad alloy theory being the cause. But when they look like this - unh uh, I aint buying it. And none of what I'm saying has anything to do with what you're talking about. Sure, what you're talking about can happen, does happen. But it's not the explanation for a coin like this. And Jeff, for your benefit, this is an example pf me trying to point out to you that you're not the only one who exercises skepticism on a regular basis :)[/QUOTE]
