<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jb10000lakes, post: 6447602, member: 102967&quot;]So, how does this work? (from the Mint&#039;s release) &quot;The Mint’s intent is to use the .999 fine silver planchets that they strike for commemorative dollars as those will produce coins to the same weight, thickness and diameter of the original dollars.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>But if the original dollars were 90% silver not 99.9, how can they get the same physical dimensions as the original? I could see if it were the opposite because you would have 10% to come up with a proper blend of metals to make it &#039;add up&#039;. Or is it blind luck that the 10% not silver in the original matched the physical characteristics of the 90% that was?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
