<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 909333, member: 24633&quot;]Carlos,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What you are suggesting cannot possibly happen. At no time would a coin that was produced 100-150 years earlier ever be anywhere near the coining operation for a modern coin. Why would it be anyway?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The raw metal used to make our coins is smeltered and formed into large ingots. These ingots are then run through a press to form long sheets of metal. These sheets of metal are then run through a blanking machine to cut out the individual planchets. The planchets are then fed into a machine called a riddler to separate any miscut or undersized planchets. Then, the planchets are fed into the upsetting mill which raises a slight rim on the edge of the planchet. From there, the planchets are fed into the coining chamber one-by-one to produce the coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
